\u201cUsing art as a visual and narrative critical tool, our project investigates the presence and impact of hydroelectric dams on the Columbia River,\u201d write the artists. The dams have been celebrated for their massive energy production and economic benefits, and they have also incurred environmental and related social costs as they reshape aspects of the river basin. \u201cA Pause in Flow\u201d explores ideas of environment, industry, time, and memory. \u201cWe ask how aesthetic relationship can offer compelling ways to consider human constructions that alter natural forces.\u201d<\/p>\n

The concerns are topical and consequential in the Pacific Northwest area of North America, as dam policies on the Columbia River are currently being negotiated in Canada and the United States and considerations of new dams are being discussed. \u201cCentral to our project is that the works be exhibited in locations along the Columbia River as well as in Pacific Northwest cities dependent on hydro-power,\u201d the artists add. “Through our collaborative documentation and interpretation, we will aim to explore parallels among various places and histories along the river, suggest patterns and relationships, and facilitate documentary, metaphor, and allegory in considering the presence of the dams.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
