Dear Friends,
I am forwarding this message from the Lunenburg Heritage Society with regard to their AGM on the 25th but more to the point with regard to membership in same....your support via interest in membership and inferred interest in the 'business' of the Society is very much appreciated!
There are various opportunities to support the Society..and to support the KNAUT RHULAND HOUSE (circa 1793) in particular...
A recent article in THE PROGRESS BULLETIN...described the immediate needs of the house in terms of repair & preservation!
This exceptional property as an ideal platform from which to tell the story of Lunenburg's first 100 years
"....a settlement of non British, non French individuals for whom language, religion and culture were the defining features that allowed them to ban together to make their new home in North America not only survive but thrive...."
There is so much to say and so much of which to be proud!!!!

The Board of the LHS has a fresh mandate and fresh faces ready to work toward a revived and revised LHS..
It would be wonderful if some (or one) of you would agree to join in at this level...
We all hold back waiting for the other fellow... there is space at this table...and a responsibility needing your attention....
Don't wait to be asked, let Ashlee know of your interest and your commitment to the 'essence of what is Lunenburg'........
Cheers
Sue

'Aspect and Light' Artist Talk and Exhibition with
Joshua Collins - Friday, May 6th at 7:30pm

Joshua Collins' work as recent Artist in Resident at the Lunenberg School of the Arts will be on display for the month of May. There will be an opening and artist talk on May the 6th at 7:30pm. The talk will situate this work within his larger practice as an designer, builder and artist.

‘ASPECTS and LIGHT’ is a work that looks to locate and measure the range of dynamic lighting conditions within a micro-urban environment across the period of a day. It entails a series of photographs taken from Sunrise through Sunset at specific locations throughout Lunenburg. The photographs were shoot through hand-etched renditions of the scene to help abstract and bring attention to the role of architectural details and building form in expressing the daily lighting cycle.

ARTIST BIO:
Joshua Collins, formally trained as an architect, maintains an integrated practice ranging from construction to poetry, from process sketches to environmental studies, from installation art to education. His freelance work at an urban scale includes design and construction work on large-scale developments as well as rehabilitating the cultural capacity of both public and private spaces through constructive installations, interventions and commissions. At a rural scale, his work has ranged from contemplative covered bridges and substantial greenhouses to lighting installations within the natural landscape.

His practice maintains a fundamentally environmental focus; using the operative capacity of NOISE and lessons from acoustic ecology as an evocative method for gathering and processing the complexity of environmental conditions and establishing the basis for constructive abidance (or dwelling). He also maintains substantial emphasis on the role of LIGHT, relying both on the potency of its phenomena and on the sheer optimism and open-ended playfulness that it demands.

Light and Lightness is the ultimate quest underlying his practice.
Josh views ‘Art’ as a venue for expressing and developing these interests.
