SUSANNE VIELMETTER LOS ANGELES PROJECTS
Closing Party in Honor of Andrea Bowers and Tim DeChristopher
Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects is pleased to invite you to the closing party in honor of Andrea Bowers’ solo exhibition.Special guest and environmental activist Tim DeChristopher will be present and answer questions.
Artworks by Andrea Bowers, Edgar Arceneaux, Jedediah Caesar, Glenn Kaino, Olga Koumoundouros, Shana Lutker, Daniel Joseph Martinez, Rodney McMillian, Henry Taylor and others will be available in support of raising funds for Tim DeChristopher’s climate action group, Peaceful Uprising.
In December 2008 Tim DeChristopher disrupted a government auction of 150,000 acres of wilderness for oil and gas drilling as an act of civil disobedience. This action caused many of the leases, which would have permitted drilling on pristine acres of public land in Utah, to be canceled. But for DeChristopher, there have been serious consequences. Because of his action, he faces up to 10 years in prison and fines of $750,000. His trial is set for September 13, 2010.
