Nest: Creating Home

WOODSIDE, Calif., April 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Filoli is proud to announce its innovative new exhibition, Nest: Creating Home. The exhibition weaves together the formal and informal places in the estate, and explores the stories of the people who lived and worked at Filoli.

The exhibition runs from May 10 to November 10, and integrates interpretive stories through an exhibit and guided tour: "The People of Filoli," a mixed media art exhibition: "The Birds of Im/Migration," and an environmental art exhibition: "Nests: Patterns from Nature."

“At a time when ‘home’ is being redefined in the Bay Area, ‘Nest: Creating Home’ will tell the compelling story of immigration and migration over the last 100 years through tours, mixed media art, and an environmental art installation.” said Kara Newport, Chief Executive Officer for Filoli.

"At a time when 'home' is being redefined in the Bay Area, 'Nest: Creating Home' will tell the compelling story of immigration and migration over the last 100 years through tours, mixed media art, and an environmental art installation. We are very excited to bring our guests on a journey to reflect on what home means to them and share their stories," said Kara Newport, Chief Executive Officer for Filoli.

People of Filoli
The People of Filoli exhibition tells the stories of key staff who migrated to the area in support of this working estate. Through a display in the House and guided tour, newly uncovered stories are brought to life. The estate took a community people to create and sustain, and was built as a labor of love by many immigrants over time. They created their own home built from different cultures, different languages, and different beliefs for a common goal.

Sara Friedlander
The Birds of Im/Migration
Inspired by her own grandmother's immigration journey, Santa Cruz based artist Sara Friedlander has created visual narratives to honor the courageous women who left their homeland and families, often under great duress. Each of the mixed media panels highlights the journey of an Im/Migrant woman. Most spoke no English and holding steadfast to their hopes for a brighter future, faced daunting challenges in order to establish a new life in America.

W. Gary Smith
Nests: Patterns from Nature
W. Gary Smith is one of North America's leading landscape designers. He is also an artist with a simple mission—creating meaningful encounters between people, plants, and the natural world. Gary's environmental art installation at Filoli features forms inspired by both patterns in nature and nesting animals. All the materials are from the Filoli Estate—from wind-felled native oak trees, to plane tree branches gathered from the formal Garden. For this project Gary is hosted, in part, by Santa Clara University as a Visiting Artist for the Center for the Arts and Humanities.

Nest: Creating Home will also be accompanied by a series of monthly lectures taking place at the Filoli Lecture Hall. Lectures are free for members, $5 for non-members, plus the cost of admission to Filoli. Registration for lectures running from May through July is available at http://www.filoli.org/events. More dates and times will be announced soon for lectures running from August to the end of the exhibition, in November.
