How "The Blued Trees in NYC; The Sea WIll Have the Last Word," Event October 30 Is The Top of a Cultural Timeline

The title of this aricle refers to Schubert’s famous work, Death and The Maiden. That allusion could be a separate treatise about the build-up to October 30 in the past month. This could be a very long article about how artists have used time as another color in our palette. I am thinking of John Cage’s, “.4'33'” That may be the subject for a future article but tonight I don’t have time.

Instead I will create some context for the audience that will attend live and streaming 7: PM EST October 30. The October 30 culminates research and experimentation for the Blued Trees project that began in 2015, when a small group of activists tasked me with stopping natural gas pipelines in New York State. The history of how my thinking was sourced and has evolved since then is in a zine, created with Elia Emery Min, that will be available to the live audience the night of the event.
