Thursday, June 4, 7 pm Sierra Club & Piccolo Spoleto film screening: Andy Goldsworthy *Leaning into the Wind* College of Charleston School of Natural and Environmental Sciences, 202 Calhoun Street, NW corner of Coming Street, Charleston, SC 29403. Free and open to the public. Directed by Thomas Riedelsheimer 2017 1h 37m This documentary film about Scottish landscape artist Andy Goldsworthy explores the ecology, design, and beauty of natural elements. *Leaning into the Wind* follows Goldsworthy on his exploration of the world and himself through ephemeral and permanent workings on the landscape, cities and with his own body. Goldsworthy is a self-described land artist so enraptured by nature that he manipulates found materials such as stones, branches, fallen trees, leaves, clay, rocks, vines and icicles in ways that honor their origins. Many works are intentionally ephemeral, destined to briefly exist before dissolving back into the flora and fauna from whence they came. Sierra Club is the oldest and largest grassroots environmental organization in the US. The Lunz Group has over 2,000 members in Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, and Dorchester counties in South Carolina. Piccolo Spoleto Festival is produced by the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs to offer unique experiences in the arts, culture, and history. https://leaningintothewind.com/ https://www.sierraclub.org/south-carolina/robert-lunz www.piccolospoleto.com/
