ANTI-GASOLINE PUBLIC ART PIECE TO BE UNVEILED IN SEATTLE
Using public art to drive environmental activism, award-winning anti-gasoline nonprofit Coltura will take to the streets on June 2 to present The Gas Trap, a performance art piece that calls attention to the harm–and death–caused by our individual and collective use of gasoline.
The Gas Trap places performers inside an inflatable, 25-foot-high kinetic sculpture that serves as a stage and clear bubble for spectators to peer inside. The bubble is fabricated from clear window vinyl and connected by a hose to the tailpipe of a car, whose exhaust is depicted as filling the bubble while its inhabitants attempt to cope with the consequences. The Gas Trap invites viewers to explore the hazy intersection of gasoline, health, climate change, money, and guilt. Coltura will present The Gas Trap in a series of appearances throughout Seattle this spring and summer, starting June 2 at 5:30 p.m. and again at 6:05 p.m. at Westlake Park, 401 Pine Street, Seattle. All performances are free and open to the public.
