Journey Toward a Turning Point
Artists & Climate Change / September 1, 2021​
​Thank you to Artists & Climate Change for sharing the story leading up to our solo exhibition at Meredith College in Raleigh, NC, Jenny Blazing and Carin Walsh: Turning Point.​
​Duke University, Durham NC
Enviro-Art Gallery 2021 / April 2021
The work of WALSH/BLAZING was on view in the virtual Enviro-Art Gallery 2021 exhibition designed to inspire environmental stewardship through art. DURMatitis depicts local landmarks in an imagined, graphic novel-styled Durham if our battle to save the environment is lost, and speaks to the looming questions facing humanity when the threat of Covid-19 is finally over. Audio/video collage embedded in retro space heater. Total run time 1min14sec.
Pioneer 2050: Epilogue - collaborative painting - acrylic, charcoal, colored pencil, and hand-painted original paper on canvas, 30x40 inches
In the early 1970s, the Pioneer 10 and 11 space probes carried graphic plaques with the hope of encountering extraterrestrials outside our solar system and introducing them to humankind. In Pioneer 2050: Epilogue, WALSH/BLAZING imagine the update carried by a  final probe that might be tasked with concluding  our story if we fail to take  action to adequately stem our climate crisis. Can you decipher the message? 
For this work, WALSH/BLAZING employed an iterative process, by which each artist took a turn painting the canvas in their own studio before passing it to the other to continue. The canvas was exchanged between the artists a total of six times over the course of several weeks, during which they never discussed how it was developing, or what direction it should take.

Enviro-Art Gallery Showcase / April 2019
WALSH/BLAZING’s free-standing animated video environmental sculpture DURMatitis: Dual Forced Air Heater was on exhibit as part of the Enviro-Art Gallery showcase of professional and student artwork designed to highlight the beauty and struggles of nature.  DURMatitis: Dual Forced Air Heater depicts local landmarks in a graphic novel-styled imagined Durham if our battle to save the environment is lost. The work asks what role each of us plays toward that outcome -- Am I the problem or am I the solution? You are one or the other, or both, but you cannot extract yourself from the equation.
​April 6 - WALSH/BLAZING gave a presentation about their science-based practice of letting climate communication research findings, focus groups, and viewer input shape their approach to environmental messaging through visual art.

Changing Worlds, a group exhibition organized by WALSH/BLAZING was on view throughout April 2018.

Contrasting audio delivers a woven tapestry of an aging midwestern family’s actual ‘voices of remembrance’ recalling simpler times growing up in the Midwest.

Packaging Space: Presented by Calvin Brett / January-February 2018
WALSH/BLAZING were contributing artists for Packaging Space: Presented by Calvin Brett. This large-scale interactive installation invited visitors to consider all the items our society packs, ships, and discards as a means of defining class and comfort. Through the exercise of gathering scrap items and repackaging boxes, people were asked to consider how all our actions relate and how the trash of one class often becomes the treasure of a lower class, but all discards, regardless, eventually become the contents of landfills. The immersive installation was conceived by Calvin Brett and constructed by a group of artists. WALSH/BLAZING’s Changing Worlds looping video was projected onto the scene as a reminder that the perils of excessive consumption are already upon us.
