SUMMARY:Creative Foundations: Cyanotypes
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Knowing Nature: Stories of the Boreal Forest with a guided tour and workshop! \nFirst\, go inside the exhibition with Jane Winchell\, PEM’s Sarah Fraser Robbins Director of The Dotty Brown Art & Nature Center and Curator of Natural History\, and discover the biodiversity and global importance of our northernmost forests. Afterward\, join artist Patricia Scialo to learn how to make cyanotype prints: a “cameraless photography” technique using treated paper that chemically reacts to sunlight.

SUMMARY:Hello Day: Salem Says Hello... Again
DESCRIPTION:On May 1\, 1971\, Mayor Samuel Zoll proclaimed it “Hello Day.” Fire station bells rang across Salem at noon. Residents poured into the streets — along Essex Street\, across the Common — to do something radical in its simplicity: say hello to each other. \nA rock band made up of Salem High students played on the Common. A conceptual artist circled overhead in a plane\, photographing the whole thing from above. Channel 5 showed up. A teenager named Marian Sonier told the Salem Evening News it was the best time she’d had in months. \nSalem did this two years before the rest of the world even had the idea. \nNow Salem turns 400\, and we’re bringing it back.

DESCRIPTION:Field Studies (Symbiosis) looks at forest ecology from a variety of perspectives\, beginning with an aerial overview of the Canadian Boreal Forest and moving through the dynamic processes that shape the landscape\, including wind\, water\, pollination and the hidden forest communication channels of the micro-rhizomes in the soil. Three multidisciplinary artists collaborated over nine months and completed a weeklong residency at PEM to produce this 30-minute performance-based installation.
