Welcome
to BLUEWAVEPROJECT.ORG
BLUEWAVE
PROJECT is a temporary environmental art installation, painting a line
in sea side communities where the water level may be in one hundred years
if we do nothing about global warming.
We are using
fabric and/or chalk paint that washes away after a rainstorm or two. This
is because we are interested in cultural treasures, churches, museums,
the city streets...the very things that makes the community special. We
do not want to damage or deface these treasures only to let the people
imagine what seems impossible. Unless we care and act now, the water will
rise.
The project
is designed to be a collaboration with artists and educators anywhere
in the world. By contacting us we can provide the tools to properly access
your site and paint a temporary wave marking the future water level. We
expect this wave to be different in each community as a reflection of
the culture and creativity of the artists and their collaborators. We
are fund raising in each community and internationally to assure the tools
to be available in the poorest communities as well the very ones most
affected by global warming.
The role
of the artist in the community has always been to make real the unimaginable.
From the churches of Europe to the Buddhist temples of Asia, the artist
with stone and paint and now sound and digital image has shared the sublime...communicated
a culture. This project is personal the canvas we paint is our own community.
It is universal as the canvas is our earth. We welcome your participation
in this art installation we are looking for sites, funding and collabrators...noone
is too young or too old to help. We can imagine the unimaginable and change
the future.
