Pair of Bernheim artists plan Glassworks screening

Rachel Carlson's 1962 plea for the decreased use of
pesticides, "Silent Spring," echoes through the decades
into contemporary ar
Bernheim Arboretum will sponsor a digital slide show and
video series by Hideki Kanno and Stephen Ausherman,
former artists-in-residence at the Clermont, Ky., arboretum
and sculpture park.
"LICKS + SHOTS" is a free screening from 6 to 7 p.m.
Wednesday at Glassworks Theater, 815 W. Market St.,
Louisville. A reception follows at the Jazz Factory
downstairs in the building.
The program includes a three-minute film, "Eulogy for an
Assassin," which the artists call a "remembrance of love
and insecticide" that was shot at Bernheim. Some of the
works have been seen in Louisville at Zephyr Gallery and
at the New Center for Contemporary Art as well as at the
Center for Contemporary Art in Santa Fe, N.M. The artists
met at Bernheim Forest last October and decided to
collaborate.
Both are back to continue work this year.
Kanno, of Chiba, Japan, has developed a sound
installation conceived at Bernheim that will be shown in
Finland and Japan. A graduate of Tokyo's Musashino Art
University, he creates outdoor installations. Ausherman, a
native of China now living in New Mexico, has been
resident artist/writer at Buffalo National River in Arkansas
and Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming.
