UPRIVER by Heidi Wiren Bartlett

Grossman Gallery | 243 North Third Street

Artist-in-Residence, Heidi Wiren Bartlett, conjures latent energies from rocks, bodies of water, and the natural environment to narrate stories about history, experiences, and mythologies that make our daily lives magical.

HEIDI WIREN BARTLETT & COLLABORATORS
KARL STIRNER ARTS TRAIL | PERFORMANCE STARTS AT THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE @ SILK

Upriver is a project including a series of sculptures culminating in a performance event on Bushkill Creek. Debuting on July 8, the work is an active collaboration with local artists, scholars, geologists, musicians, and engineers. In a procession down the Karl Stirner Arts Trail, stories will be told, action will transform, and each element will be constructed to reflect the potent history of the Lehigh Valley and mythologies of “The Place at the Forks.”

There will be sacred rocks, iron, steel, hex signs, and witches. It should be known, in the end, what is left was already upriver.

SOUND BATH EXPERIENCE
JOHN MURACO of HEARTWELL HOUSE

Reservations Requested. Email: artgallery@lafayette.edu – Subject: Sound Bath Reservations
During this sound meditation, your only task is to be comfortable. Blankets, pillows, and comfortable mats are provided, but feel free to bring your own. A gently guided relaxation experience will be followed by the sounds of crystal singing bowls, gongs and the sounds of other instruments. The nature of these sounds can support movement through emotions and deepen awareness.
