Monique Martin: Continuous

Monique Martin, "Continuous," 2018
invitation
Join us for an Artist Talk and Opening Reception on Wednesday, January 10, 2018 at 7:00 pm.
Continuous is a multi-sensory art installation by Monique Martin augmented by the scent of beeswax and the sound of buzzing bees that comments on the steady decline in honeybee populations and the devastating effects of their collapsed colonies. Through ceiling-suspended panels and a participatory hive wall, the artist creates an interactive experience where visitors are immersed in a “live” beehive.
Martin seeks to illustrate the delicate nature of what happens in a hive as it relates to the interactions of humans: The more we are involved, the more the bees suffer.
