THE BOMB BLAST
Ellen Driscoll & Anita Glesta, In Conversation
Proteus Gowanus, Brooklyn, Fall 2007
“In the Open: Art in Public Spaces” Series
Anita Glesta’s Gernika/Guernica, shown in Lower Manhattan in Spring 2007, juxtaposed the provocative abstraction of Picasso’s infamous painting with survivor accounts of the 1937 bombing of a Basque village. Ellen Driscoll’s sculpture Revenant, a bridge made from hundreds of #2 plastic bottles, was recently installed at the Nippon Ginko Bank in Hiroshima, Japan, one of the few structures to survive the atomic blast. The two artists discuss the power of memory and storytelling.
