Elizabeth Turk talks Project: Look Up with Claremont Museum of Art
Artist Elizabeth Turk speaks in the gallery of the “LOOK UP” exhibition at the Claremont Museum of Art on August 7, 2021. Learn about ET Projects, the creation of Project LOOK UP at Mt. San Antonio Gardens and plans for a LOOK UP event at Scripps College in September.
The exhibition, created by ET Projects, sends a message of hope, unity, resilience and optimism with Elizabeth Turk’s immersive artwork produced with the residents of Mt. San Antonio Gardens. It shares both intimate moments and spectacular aerial video clips of the residents’ movement patterns while carrying brightly colored umbrellas throughout the Gardens. This experience allowed for the community to be a voice of hope to each other and the world. As one masked participant proclaimed “In play we can SEE each other again”.
