The Infanttree Project

September 11, 2015 – April 29, 2016

Exhibiting Artist:
Larry Thompson

Since September 11, 2001, The United States has been involved in two wars. 2.5 million American soldiers have or are serving in these wars, yet a large portion of our society is unaware of the effects war has had on these service members and their families. Space One Eleven will exhibit an installation of artworks by artist Larry Thompson titled, The Infanttree Project, which is his response to America’s insulation from the carnages of war. As an artist, Associate Dean and Professor at the private liberal arts institution, Thompson has long encountered students who are disconnected from our current wars. This disconnect is not contained to university students, but extends    to the rest of the country and may be  attributed to the lack of coverage by news media. In the news today, more attention is often given to who was voted off a reality  television show than to the humans that died on a given day as a result of war.
