Through #thebluetrees I wanted to create an artwork that was both real and surreal. Something that was both beautiful and fearful. In order to get people to see the forests I had to make the trees visible - I wanted to open imagination, open the mystery. #environmentalart #socialart #museum #ideasthatmatter #kondimopoulos #investinart #curatetheworld #cahoonmuseum #treesarealive #publicart #museumofart #sociallyengagedart #globalwarming #climarte

When I was young and beginning my art journey I knew everything there was about ‘Art’, now it is a continually expanding mystery!

As an artist, it’s Imagining the social in the artistic practice and its relying on active public participation in order for #thebluetrees to be realised.My socially engaged art practice has been a driver for me from the very beginning of my career. It is now wonderful to see Museums embracing socially driven public art. #cahoonmuseum #guggenheimmuseum #curriermuseum.org #vancouverbiennale #harnmuseum

‘Purveyors of water, consumers of carbon, treasure houses of species, the world’s forests are ecological miracles.They must not be allowed to vanish.’ The Economist, 2010. #thebluetrees

‘Ring the bells that still can ring, Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in’ #thebluetrees is about creating the crack that allows the light of what is happening to forests to be seen everywhere. Art provides the ability to make the invisible visible and brings it into the light.

#TheBlueTrees began in 2003 and grew out of the insanity decimating forests around the world and became a visual scream and a call to action in global communities. #thebluetrees #cahoonmuseumofamericanart @kondimopoulos #cotuit#publicart

And so it began. The #bluetrees at the beautiful Cahoon Museum of American Art.
