A Beautiful Equation
An educator and perfomer, Len Barron first developed a piece about Einstein and Bohr as a one man show, but then decided to evolve the project by enlist the help of 8 grandmothers to tell the story with their own added pizazz. Not only was lively performance produced, but a process and experience was shared. This process was captured by documentary film maker Robin Truesdale in a film coming to the Dairy Center this weekend entitled A Beautiful Equation. Both Robin and Len have joined us today in the studio to tell us more about the film, the process, the scientists and the grandmothers. |

Community Supported Art (CSART Colorado)
Aired: January 2014 In an age where the consumer continues to be more displaced from the creators of goods, there is a visible movement to reconnect. The local movement has given rise to a number of community supported projects, challenging mainstream economic models of today. Many arguments are made on the benefits of such models, which can not only be financially sustainable but also psychologically advantageous. The Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art and The Denver Botanical Gardens have developed a program to create a local art market through Community Supported Art shares. In Fall of 2013, I attended a distribution event where shareholders had come to meet artists and pick up their shares for the season. |
