On #InternationalMuseumsDay, @CantorArts is joinin On #InternationalMuseumsDay, @CantorArts is joining museums globally to build community through education, and more specifically, sustainability and conservation.

Artist Petra Cortright's Hellscape Nº17 (2022), currently on view on the facade of the Cantor through May 30th, features a digital painting of an invented landscape. It evokes the rugged scenery and wildfires of California. She created the work in conjunction with A Cool Million, a public arts initiative for climate awareness led by artists and institutions to expand environmental justice programming.

The Cantor’s Assistant Curator of Photography and New Media, Maggie Dethloff, was “excited to work with Petra on this project because of how she works with the Internet and software.” Dethloff understands that the tech industry is an important one to look at critically in terms of climate change. She writes, “technology promises potential sustainability solutions, but it also currently produces a lot of emissions and electronic waste that affect the climate and public health. Considering @Stanford's longstanding involvement in tech, this was an important part of my thinking around this project. The arts can communicate creatively and critically about aspects of society, the economy, and policy that can otherwise be difficult to articulate and discuss. Museums are, as we know, not neutral entities, so we have a responsibility to do this work, around the issue of sustainability and countless other pressing issues of our day.”

The Cantor also hopes to work closely with Stanford’s new Doerr School of Sustainability to contribute to the interdisciplinary work the school will host and find new ways for the arts to participate in and lead conversations around climate action.

How do we map an experience? Stanford freshman Lyd How do we map an experience? Stanford freshman Lydia Wei did just that, rendering her virtual freshman year into something fantastical and imagined. 

Wei's map was included in Bloomberg CityLab's 'The Quarantine Atlas’ Maps How 65 Lives Turned Upside Down' edited by Laura Bliss. In charting the less visible changes of a global pandemic, this book includes 65 maps selected from readers from all over the world to reflect on life during Covid-19. When asked about her contribution, Wei writes:

"I created this map during my freshman year at Stanford University, which was fully remote. At the time, I had no physical understanding of the university, but a very vibrant digital understanding. I thought it was a strange state to be in—knowing just enough to call myself a Stanford student while simultaneously having no physical bearings for the campus space. So I created a little map at the time that was partly a fantastical imagination of Stanford but also a visual diary of my time in quarantine. It’s been lovely to finally make it to campus — it’s totally different from my map, mostly in pleasant, fairly surprising ways. But I do bemoan not having an eight-armed tree on campus here."
