Tara Chadwick Interview

We are into the last month of summer and the last few days of our extended participation of visual and performance art in Italy over the past five months since the opening day of the 59th Venice Biennale. 

Matriarch will complete her Venice journey this Friday. Recently, I had a few moments to discuss my views and experiences with ITSLIQUID founder, Luca Curci.

I am grateful for this extraordinary experience of reaching my goal to dance with the world.

See you in Zurich!

Summer World Tour: Venice, Rome, Laguna Beach, Zurich & London!

It's an exciting summer here at Tara Chadwick's Mother Earth Studios. Today Matriarch opens for a special showing in "Contemporary Venice" during the Danza Biennale, starting at 5 pm today (Venezia time) and runs (business hours Monday - Friday) through August 5th. 

If you want to catch a glimpse of Matriarch in her Native digital habitat, check out the online exhibition at Las Laguna Art Gallery "Women in Art." Once there you can find her by searching my name, her title, or by using one of the online viewing room categories: nature, animals or insects. 

Next month, Matriarch makes her debut at the Art Box Expo in Zurich in the main train station exhibition hall along with two of my other recent works that have been popular this year: #GoldenHelix and #GoldenPromise.

Then in September, a new experimental performance in Rome, followed by our first run in the UK at South London Gallery, October 1-15. 

Happy Summer!

Amid all the tragic crises we are experiencing in our communities and around the world, our unfolding,  as a conscious, compassionate, caring species is in a process of emergence. We are as yet incapable of creating the conditions necessary for completing our collective pursuit of competence as an interconnected variable within the web of life however, all the potential to achieve our goal of becoming human beings lies within us! We need to realize, observe, analyze and heal. Then inevitably, one at a time, and together, we will take flight!

During the pandemic, while the pre-COVID norms of in-person meetings, classes and presentations were unsafe to facilitate, my daily walks became a disciplined meditation allowing me to focus on  what is happening in the microcosm surrounding me. The #Matriarch series is a reflection of the hope and beauty I continue to see in nature at a time when human grief seems insurmountable.

The attached exhibition review is my third in Venice this year, starting with the Venice Experimental Video and Performance Art Festival on opening day of the Biennale de Venezia last month, continuing with a digital display at the Biennale Artbox Expo at Spazio Tana just over the footbridge from Arsenale, culminating with Anima Mundi at Palazzo Albrizzi Capello. I am grateful for these opportunities to share a little bit of who I am with the rest of the world. It is my hope to inspire awareness, appreciation and action to protect and preserve the delicate balance that allows life to continue to flourish within our changing climate, communities and consciousness.

Venice Experimental Performance Reportage

Fort Lauderdale, FL

Amid the flurry of opening day at the long awaited Biennale de Venezia, Tara Chadwick, an Indigenous Belizean/ Canadian based in Broward County, Florida presented a short film honoring her lifelong artistic practice in dance and nature immersion.

"Earth • Ecology • Everglades" grew out of a project to provide residents and visitors with a taste of the rhythms, sights, smells and sounds found in the intersection of humans and the natural environment. Funded in part by a grant from the Florida Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture and the Broward Cultural Division, Proyecto Papalotl has engaged communities across and beyond South Florida in interactive presentations since 2014. During the beginning of the COVID pandemic, alternate ways of connecting with community were explored including utilization of different forms of artistic expression: livestreaming, digital recording, audio, film and still  images. The short film is accompanied by a National Geograhic certified intergenerational lesson plan with the same title. More about last month's Venice Experimental Performing Arts Festival can be found at https://www.itsliquid.com/review-experimental-venice-2022.html

Currently Tara Chadwick has two additional works on view in Venice, both of which expand on the theme of exploring the unfurling of our identity, purpose and responsibility as humans living in an Earth  ecosystem that we are rapidly changing. #Matriarch will open at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello on Thursday, May 12 as part of "Anima Mundi CONSCIOUSNESS" and is also on view as a digital lightbox work at Spazio Tana / Tanarte, just across the canal from the Biennial's Arsenale through May 31. Limited edition prints available.

#Matriarch made her debut in Fort Myers last October, then hung as a public art billboard over 27th Avenue during Art Miami Week/ Art Basel from November through January.

Broward County residents and visitors can join Tara Chadwick for an interactive workshop in collaboration with the Miramar Community Garden on Saturday May 14th at 10 am.
