SCULPTURE/WEATHER EXHIBITION - January 7, 2009
You are invited to the closing event for Nathalie Miebach's Artist in Research residency!
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 at 7pm
@ the Pozen Center at MassArt
621 Huntington Ave, Boston MA
For a number of years, Nathalie has been making woven sculptures based on locally collected weather data and observations. Using basket weaving as her method of translation, behavioral relationships are explored and revealed between different weather elements. During her Berwick AIR residency, she began to integrate musical notation to further explore the nuance of data translation. Based on a music score she wrote herself using recently collected weather data, she has begun collaborating with professional musicians through direct performance as well as building sculptures that also function as 3 dimensional musical scores.
Nathalie Miebach holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Chinese from Oberlin College and a Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture and Master of Art Education from Massachusetts College of Art. Originally from Germany and France, she has spent many years living and traveling in Southeast Asia and the United States. Recent exhibit highlights include the Sculpture Center 2006 Outstanding Student Sculpture Award at Grounds for Sculpture, the DeCordova Annual Exhibit 2007 and a solo show in April, 2008, at the Nielsen Gallery in Boston. One day she hopes to go to Antarctica to record weather and make sculptures with 24 hour sunlight.
