Respire, Landmark Exhibit


Land Mark. Lakewood, CO USA


“LandMark” is a temporary, public outdoor exhibition curated by Anna Kaye and Kalliopi Monoyios. It will take place in parks across Lakewood. Video/virtual walking tours and free community events will accompany the exhibition; check back for details as the opening date nears.

“LandMark” features the work of 10 accomplished Colorado artists, many of whom live or work right here in Lakewood. Each public artwork will address the environment or sense of place in some way, whether it may focus on how the land has changed or reveal and highlight something that has always been there.

Respire

By Nicole Banowetz

Diatoms are a type of phytoplankton that live near the surface of water, or in moist environments such as soil or tree bark. Not only are the complex forms of diatoms beautiful but they are an important part of the ecosystem. They produce 25% of the air we breathe and monitor the effects of climate change. The decaying log at the creek’s edge is wrapped in the enlarged forms of the diatoms found in the Bear Creek Reservoir. These usually hidden forms are on display here for us to appreciate not just their beauty but their importance to our lives.
