About Us

Linden Tree was conceived in late 2003 as an opportunity for a group of friends and associates to share with each other what they were most enthused about in their respective creative realms.  Using what was the new Sagan Piechota Architecture space on Linden St. as a venue, the original group of approximately 25 design / creative types came together and agreed that a monthly gathering would be desirable. 

For the the following years, a fabulous and diverse variety of individuals have shared with this growing community their work, process, and ideas in an open and casual and engaging format which has proven to be stimulating and inspiring.  Painters, writers, musicians, architects, industrial designers, printmakers, sculptors, glass artists, coffee roasters are a sampling of past presentations.

Next Wednesday, (Jan. 9th, 2008) artist and exhibition designer, Shawn Lani, will talk about his diverse body of work located in over forty international art, science and natural history museums.  His kinetic, interactive works focus on the kinds of fleeting patterns that inspire both scientists and artists to ask questions and pursue answers in their own idiosyncratic ways.

The work "Wave Wall" (image below) rocks gently in the breeze, each thirty-two foot aluminum pendulum is coupled to its neighbor with less than two pounds of magnetic pull. This small force entwines the individual spires and forms a cohesive whole that sways with delicate balance in even the softest breeze.

Twelve years ago, Lani's interest in museums led him to the Exploratorium, a museum of art, science and human perception. The unique culture there comprised of educators, artists, scientists and writers has deeply affected his work. His current work at the Exploratorium includes the creation of over twenty outdoor artworks at Ft. Mason.

Lani has undergraduate degrees in English Literature and Art History and a Master's degree in Museum Education. In 2001 he formed his own studio in Ely, Nevada.

There are many foods that increase cholesterol levels and you should avoid them as most of them are also bad for your figure. For example, butter and similar fatty products we use for cooking. These products have a high concentration on fat that together with other fat we take during the day can increase the total fat levels very much kvvpsv kvvpsv - <a href="http://www.suprasbuy.com">supra shoes</a>.
