Artists in Context will join with Australian artist, designer and engineer Natalie Jeremijenko to open an Environmental Health Clinic field office in 2011. Using the familiar context of medical care, Dr. Jeremijenko treats environmental issues and their concomitant impact on human life and emotion, especially anxiety. The New York Times writes:
Visitors to the clinic talk about an array of concerns, including contaminated land, polluted indoor air and dirty storm-water runoff. Dr. Jeremijenko typically gives them a primer on local environmental issues, especially the top polluters in their neighborhoods. Then she offers prescriptions that include an eclectic mix of green design, engineering and art — window treatments, maybe, or sunflowers, tadpoles or succulents.
Dr. Jeremijenko will introduce the project and new office in a lecture Thursday, September 30, 7-9PM, at the Cambridge Public Library (map) in Cambridge, MA. The event is free, but space is limited, so please take the time to RSVP with Artists in Context here.
