Join us for a FREE monthly Art Field Trip at the Baker Art Museum at Artis-Naples!This is geared toward elementary aged kiddos because Jennielle is hosting a separate group for the teens. However, if you have a mixed group of elementary kids and teens and you would prefer to join us, your teens are absolutely welcome.
Please comment with how many adults and kids (with ages) you are signing up.
**Max 60 participants.**
One of our wonderful museum docents will lead a tour through this month’s featured art exhibit. This month, there will be no accompanying activity to allow more time to explore and interact with the exhibit.
We meet in the courtyard at 9:45, and then the tour begins at 10 a.m.

The topic this month is Rafael Lozano-Hemmer: Obra Sonora
For over three decades, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer has integrated art, science, architecture and technology into his trailblazing artistic practice. The celebrated Mexican-Canadian artist is known for his participatory installations, which have been showcased in major solo exhibitions at the Hirshhorn Museum, SFMOMA and Venice Biennale, among others. Organized by Artis—Naples, The Baker Museum, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer: Obra Sonora (Spanish for “sound work”) features 14 artworks that engage and experiment with sound and music as its primary medium. The exhibition will feature pieces on loan from museums and foundations in the U.S., Turkey and Mexico, including one world premiere.
The exhibition includes monumental works such as Field Atmosphonia, a sound and light environment featuring 3,000 audio channels playing back natural field recordings; Volute 2, a speech bubble presented as an oversized aluminum sculpture; and Sphere Packing: Bach, a 10-foot diameter sphere that supports 1,128 loudspeakers — each playing a different composition by Johann Sebastian Bach. The artist states: “Within Obra Sonora, one room might invoke an interactive and intimate experience, while the next will loom with turbulent layers of noise; one work might showcase the power of a single speaking voice, while the next will mix the bellicose marches that make up most of the world’s national anthems.”
This will be the first museum exhibition to explore Lozano-Hemmer’s use of sound as a medium of expression and image-making, and it will be the largest-ever museum presentation of his work in the southeastern United States.
PLEASE NOT: THIS EXHIBITION INCLUDES FLASHING LIGHTS, PERIODIC LOUD SOUNDS, AND SUDDEN CHANGES OF VOLUME.
The exhibition features several interactive installations for visitors to experience. We will not be including a separate hands-on art activity for this visit to allow for plenty of time to explore.
