Cool GLobes





















Title: "Itz A Rhythmistic World!" It shows people of all types holding hands united against the forces behind global warming along with images depicitng how idling cars and buses needlessly contribute to the problem. I was fortunate enough to secure a Cool Globes Public Art Commission. These were globes, dealing with themes to raise awareness about global warming to be auctioned off to gian support for the high school Conservation Clubs of Chicago.
Over 100 of them were displayed along the city's lakefront Museum Park Campus during the Spring and Summer of 2007. I hired 6 students where I teach and completed this globe in four days flat. They were members of the Conservation Club of Kenwood Academy via the Chicago Department of Environment. We worked on it at the Hyde Park Art Center of Chicago.

Hello,

I work for the Great Lakes Wiki at www.greatlakeswiki.org. The site is project of the Knight Center for Environmental Journalism.

I'm shooting a documentary on the Cool Globes project for our site. I'd like to profile the artists and organizers involved in the Cool Globes project. Would you be willing to conduct an interview for this, either in person or over the phone? The individual on camera interviews would only take 10-20 minutes of your time, and I will come to your office or studio when it is convenient for you. Do you have contact information for others involved in the project who might be available for an interview, either by phone or in person?

Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
