Beacon Room: Searching For a New Planet, Ilse Schreiber-Noll

A continuing project started in 2007 until present. Children from all corners of the globe join forces, embarking on a collective journey into the universe. Together, they seek a sanctuary free from the shadows of conflict — a planet where hope and a sustainable future flourish. The dream of a new planet, where peace and environmental integrity prevail, is not just a poetic fantasy but a pressing necessity. The children’s hopeful journey into the universe illuminates the path forward, urging us to cultivate a future where the harmony they seek among the stars may instead be realized here on Earth.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Ilse Schreiber-Noll Is a multimedia artist. Her paintings, installations, woodcuts, and Artist’s books speak of social and environmental issues. She will turn to the book form when she needs what a painting or woodcut can’t offer: pages. Her painted books are diaries or visual documents and complement the content of her other works by bringing out its lyrical, tactile, and poetic reality, which is hidden in the heavy textured surfaces that contain residues of nature, books, sand, ashes and plants. This generates a strong sense of physical presence and lets the viewer feel and experience the destruction brought upon countries by war, pollution and natural as well as man-made disasters.

The artist presently lives and works in the Hudson Valley, NY
