Now celebrating 30 years in Boston, Mobius once again has a home for the Mobius Artists Group, its collaborators and guest artists and curators. The space is part of the ArtBlock development (initiated by the Boston Redevelopment Authority and developed by New Atlantic Development) comprising the Joshua Bates Art Center and newly constructed artist live-work spaces and condominiums. Mobius is delighted to be part of this established and growing arts community and proud to be a new member of the vibrant South End of Boston.

 
   
The Human Cost of War
Joanne Rice (MAG)
Oct 7, 2007 to Oct 6, 2009
Noon every day for two years
Trinity Church, Copley Square Boston

Joanne will bring 100 small stones to a site by Trinity Church, Boston (Copley Square) on a daily basis at noon, starting Sunday, October 7, and designed to continue for two years. The stones will ideally accumulate at the site and eventually number over 70,000 if the site goes undisturbed. Joanne Rice asks, 'What is the human cost of war? I hear the numbers and think: my brother, my sister, my mother, my father . . . The action remembers the daily toll of war.' The site is on a grassy area at the corner of Boylston and Clarendon Streets by the Trinity Church sign.

From Trinity Church: "To be the host for this art action was a natural choice for Trinity Church. As a parish, we pray for peace for all people. And as our landmark building demonstrates, we have long history of supporting innovative forms of artistic expression."

Mobius, founded by Marilyn Arsem in 1977, is known for incorporating a wide range of the visual, performing, and media arts into innovative live performance, video, installation and intermedia works. Mobius has produced hundreds of original works that have attained critical acclaim in Boston, nationally and internationally. Works created at Mobius have been presented throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia.

Mobius has long been committed to creating artist exchange projects bringing artists from different geographic regions to work together. The international exchange projects with artists from Macedonia, Croatia, Poland, and Taiwan have focused on site-specific and publicly-sited work. Mobius has presented work involving thousands of artists over its 30-year history and is recognized as one of the seminal alternative, artist-run organizations in the U.S.
