SUMMARY:An Inspirational Evening with Artist Chris Jordan
DESCRIPTION:
 The MSU Department of Geography will highlight 
 Geography Awareness Week on Wednesday, November 
 20 with an Inspirational Evening with Chris 
 Jordan. \n
 Chris Jordan is an acclaimed artist 
 and cultural activist based in Seattle. His 
 work explores contemporary mass culture from 
 a variety of photographic and conceptual perspectives, 
 connecting the viewer viscerally 
 to the enormity and power of humanity's collective 
 unconscious. Jordan's images edge-walk 
 the lines between art and activism, beauty and 
 horror, abstraction and representation, the 
 near and the far, the visible and the invisible. 
 His work asks us to look both inward and 
 outward at the traumatized landscapes of our 
 collective choices.\n
 Currently, Chris is finishing 
 up his first documentary film, Midway, 
 which takes place on Midway Atoll, where tens 
 of thousands of seabirds die each year from 
 ingesting plastic from the polluted Pacific 
 Ocean. Midway will take viewers on a lyrical 
 guided tour into the depths of the astonishingly 
 beautiful and tragic story of the albatross, 
 inspiring us to connect on a deeper level 
 with the miracle of our world and our own lives.\n
