SUMMARY:The State of Water: Our Most Valuable Resource
DESCRIPTION:This ongoing program runs from Wednesday\, Nov. 12\, to Wednesday\, Jan. 7. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays to Sundays. \nOnly 0.007% of the planets water is available to fuel and feed its 8 billion people. Brad Temkin’s photography puts visitors face to face with the systems and techniques that deliver our most valuable natural resource. In doing so\, the exhibition encourages us to see water conservation as a process we can all get involved in. Water stands as the most important chemical compound used by humans daily\, and polling shows many Americans care deeply about water quality. But despite highly visible water crises like the high lead levels in Flint\, Mich.\, and scarcity within the Navajo Nation the quality and safety of drinking water often are taken for granted. It comes out of a faucet or a fountain\, initiated by an easy turn of the knob or push of a button. In truth\, that water has taken a much longer and complicated journey to reach us\, having traveled through a vast network of systems that most of us will never see. In The State of Water: Our Most Valuable Resource\, Guggenheim award-winning photographer Brad Temkin continues his longstanding attention to our relationship with nature how we appreciate and accommodate it and how it accommodates us. Temkin’s pictures celebrate ideas in water and wastewater engineering design\, showing the inventiveness in architecture and infrastructure necessary to meet our needs and to accommodate nature. \nThe State of Water exhibition is brought to you through the generous support of The Nature Foundation of Will County(Opens in a new window). \n

SUMMARY:Dancing for Our Tribe: Potawatomi Traditions in the New Millennium
DESCRIPTION:Four Rivers is collaborating with the Three Rivers Public Library District for a special temporary exhibit\, “Dancing for Our Tribe.”  From the artist Sharon Hoogstraten: “This legacy Potawatomi portrait collection is for our future seven generations and for the artful education of those who presume Great Lakes Native America to be a vanquished race. Using high resolution photography and image processing technology\, I’ve blended richly detailed regalia with backgrounds of native woodlands or points west where so many of our tribe were forcibly relocated — a visual effect reminiscent of the painted backdrops of the 1900s Indian portraits. In ‘Dancing for Our Tribe\,’ I portray a fresh reality of the descendants: People who live in a world of sewing machines\, synthetic fabrics\, military service\, favorite sports teams\, high-resolution digital cameras and a new millennium. They have merged loss\, optimism and contemporary life by creating a riveting celebration of continued existence — loudly declaring\, ‘WE ARE STILL HERE!’” \n
