In 2007, Brooklyn-based artist Eve Mosher started drawing a line. But unlike most lines that artists make, this one was drawn through neighborhoods, along streets and sidewalks, through playing fields and bus stops. Her line was drawn in an effort to alert various coastal communities in the U.S. and abroad to the coming changes in their shorelines due to climate change. That work is representative of a career built around creating interactive public projects that investigate the human condition in relationship to the world in which we live. Eve is not satisfied with just building an awareness of an issue. By creating a piece in a place that has meaning to her audience, she creates the kind of emotional response that can move us to take action. Her work has been featured as part of the New York Times’ 12 Artists On Climate Change, as well as in publications including The Economist and Smithsonian, and today she will discuss her work and how a realization just a couple years ago led to a profound shift in her approach.
