“Proms, Parties & Parked Cars”
Join Sarah Greeley, David Bloom and L-S Connections on Wednesday, April 29 at 7:30 p.m. in the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School cafeteria for a discussion geared towards helping parents plan for the upcoming proms with their children. The event is open to parents of all grades, since you may have a ninth- or tenth-grader who’s planning to attend the Junior or Senior Prom. We’ll be going over key logistics for prom night (bus, limo or car to the prom?) as well as sharing tips and strategies for handling last-minute changes in prom plans. This is an opportunity to brainstorm with other parents how to handle the myriad of issues that come up around prom, such as parties and parked cars. You’ll leave the cafeteria with a Plan B sheet, a list of questions to ask your students and other parents, and the realization that you’re not alone in struggling with these issues.
“Walking Sculpture” opens at deCordova in May
The deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum will unveil Walking Sculpture 1967–2015, an exhibition about the history and practice of walking as a means for questioning social, political, economic and artistic hierarchies, on Saturday, May 9. It will be on view in the galleries and the Sculpture Park through September 13.
Inspired by Michelangelo Pistoletto’s 1967 performance Walking Sculpture, in which the artist rolled a newspaper sphere through city streets in Turin, Italy, Walking Sculpture 1967–2015 features an international selection of artists who engage in walking as an autonomous form of art, as cartography, as an exploration of physical experience and as social practice. Sculpture, video, photography, and performance converge in this exhibition to address the multidisciplinary practice of ambulation through the cityscape and the countryside. The exhibit is accompanied by a robust slate of public programming, including commissioned and artist-led walks in the sculpture park and in surrounding conservation lands in Lincoln and Concord.
