 Two Rivers Gallery will be hosting a guest lecturer from Vancouver, to discuss the project eatART: energy alternatives through art. As the pieces are large-scale and quite heavy, they haven't been able to make the journey, but artist and engineer Leigh Christie will be representing them. The pieces themselves are large mechanized sculptures, including the 'Mondo Spider' and a giant snake. Gallery Managing Director Peter Thompson says it shows a different way to think about energy, combining engineering with mother nature. He says the lecture will bring up many relevant issues, as it looks at the relationship between creativity and innovation, adding that more often now art and engineering are not categorized separately. The lecture takes place Thursday, February 23rd at 7:30pm at the Two Rivers Gallery. Admission is free.
