Sea Change’ is a group photography exhibition which examines our complicated relationship with animals and the environment in wake of the greatest environmental disaster in American history, the BP oil spill.

Featuring the work of 26 emerging and established photographers, most of whom are based in New York, the exhibition will be displayed on the beautifully decaying walls of seven rooms in the old Greek Revival Hotel section of Maxon Mills (the Old Hotel).

Highlights of the show include Nadya Wasylko’s image of sunbathers fighting for space along the bank of the polluted Dnipro River in Ukraine; Katie Shapiro’s ‘Malibu Sandbags’ series, which documents a last ditch attempt by residents to save their properties from rising sea levels; Katharyn Addcox’s photographs of women involved in sustainable farming; Kate Kunath’s documentation of beekeepers, signifying the rise of a more conscious ‘back to the land’ approach; and Mark Mahaney’s entrancing image of a mother and fawn frolicking on a manicured lawn.

CalArts has a multidisciplinary approach to its studies of the arts through six schools: Art, Critical Studies, Dance, Film/Video, Music and Theater. CalArts encourages students to explore and recognize the complexity of the many aspects of the arts. It is supported by a distinguished faculty of practicing artists and provides its BFA and MFA students with the hands-on training and exposure necessary for an artist’s growth. CalArts was founded in 1961 and opened in 1969 as the first institution of higher learning in the United States specifically for students interested in the pursuit of degrees in all areas of visual and performing arts.
