Posing at Brooklyn Glass with outsized component of sculpture of LA BOHEME: A Portrait of Today's Oceans in Peril, based on a tintinnid that I captured off the coast of Chile while onboard TARA OCEANS. It was love at first sight--the plankton looked like a tiny champagne glass for a mermaid.

SHELLSHOCKED PREMIERS
Mara Haseltine is on the guest panel for the premier of the documentary Shellshocked
Watch the preview for Shellshocked
SHELLSHOCKED: Saving Oysters to Save Ourselves follows efforts to prevent the extinction of wild oyster reefs, which keep our oceans healthy by filtering water and engineering ecosystems. Today, because of overfishing and pollution, wild oyster reefs have been declared 'the most severely impacted marine habitat on Earth' and no longer play a role in their ecosystems. Now scientists, government officials, artists and environmentalists are fighting to bring oysters back to the former oyster capital of the world - New York Harbor.

Earth Consciousness Exhibit
On the Winter’s Solstice December 22nd, Mara G. Haseltine will be part of an elite group of women artists presenting their work in a show entitled Earth Consciousness. The theme of the show, curated by Japanese Artist Mariko Mori is future projects for Miyako Island, in the Okinawa prefecture in Japan. Mara will be presenting her amphibious sustainable reef design concept through the use of a short video-poem that explains the project. The other artists are Ms. Toshiko Ishimine, Miyako, Ms. Kyoko Ogawa, Miyako and Ms. Sybilla Sorondo, Mallorca. The show takes place in an under-water gallery at Miyako Marine Park.
Earlier that day Mariko Mori will be presenting her public art sculpture "Sun Pillar", a which will illuminate 7-Light Bay timed perfectly with the winter's solstice light accompanied by a shamanistic ritual performed by the island's female shamans.

Artist in Residence: Tara Oceans Feb-March 2011
http://oceans.taraexpeditions.org
Mara Haseltine was an artist in Residence aboard Tara Oceans in Febuary and March 2011 and is currently working with the large network of scientists from Tara Ocean.
Tara Oceans is a 3 year long voyage traveling around the world which is chronicling the state of the oceans and its relationship to the planets atmosphere. Mara worked alongside scientists to capture plankton which she is now using microscopy to create 3 dimensional works which are an ode to the oceans and humankind's intrinsic connection to it.

ECAD EXPLORER'S CLUB ANNUAL DINNER:
The Explorer's Club March Awarded Flag 75 and Flag Return FOR TARA OCEANS VOYAGE
March 20th 2011
Artists and Exploration Panel Discussion 2:30 pm open to public
Link to The Explorer's Club: http://www.explorers.org/
Founded in New York City in 1904, The Explorers Club promotes the scientific exploration of land, sea, air, and space by supporting research and education in the physical, natural and biological sciences. The Club's members have been responsible for an illustrious series of famous firsts: First to the North Pole, first to the South Pole, first to the summit of Mount Everest, first to the deepest point in the ocean, first to the surface of the moon—all accomplished by our members.

Mara Haseltine Current Events: 2010
I am off soon to Antwerp Belgium. The piece is called ,"Hecate Future Moon " is a site specific ritualistic performance in which the I will initiate the growth of a crystal sculpture in the basement round chamber of an old theatre. The performance addresses the need to look into the past to see into a healthy future and examines the human shaping of the future of our planet. Antwerp is the perfect place to do this as it is the ancient cross roads of Europe and also is the hotbed of future thinking.

A Representative at Global Coral Reef Alliance, at United Nations
for Sustainable Island Development partnership with the UN Commission
on Sustainable Development Conference or "CSD" www.un.org/esa/sustdev/csd/csd13/csd13.htm - Haseltine is also also currently creating reef
restoration designs
for coral and oysters. Including some novel new concepts for floating
island reefs which have the potential to improve aquaculture and aquatic biodiversity
in areas where it is now being depleted.

Lecture: The Ultimate Oyster Reef for New York City: Mara Haseltine
will give talk for "Green Renter" series at Green Arts
Energy and Education Center Solar1 about her artistic quest to design
to the ultimate oyster reef for the 'New York City Oyster'. Haseltine
will discuss how she has worked with a team marine biologists and
ecologists to experiment and create the first solar powered oyster
reef in New York City this past June as well as reef designs that
combine science/technology and traditional methodology to create
oyster reef habitat . When implemented on a large scale oyster
reefs have the potential to filter the 27 billions tons of wastewater
dumped into NYC annually and will bring back biodiversity to the
region which has not been seen since before the Industrial Revolution.:

Estrogen Tales: The Untold Story of Nine Molecules and How They Bonded...
Solo Show opens at the National Museum of Health and Medicine , Washington DC.http://nmhm.washingtondc.museum/
"Estrogen Tales: The Untold Story of Nine Molecules
and How They Bonded...," is a collection of silk-screens and
other works created by Haseltine and inspired by the research of
medicinal chemist Dr. Hyun K. Kim on molecular improvements to contraception
and women's health. The work is a celebration of Dr. Kim's discoveries
which are prime examples of "science in plain site" which
have incredible potential to improve women's health but have never
been developed commercially, and stand with many other promising
discoveries that could benefit the lives of women in particular,
and on a broader scale the environment.

Mara Haseltine was guest artist at "BioRock
Workshop" in Lombock, Indonesia. A ten day hands on workshop
that teaches a unique mehod of coral reef restoration, through mineral
accretion. Mara plans to use this technology to help design oyster
reefs here in New York City's surrounding waters, the oyster would
filter water and create marine animal habitates for indengionious
speciesScale.
