Denver Botanic Gardens / Denver, Colorado Seeing the Invisible

The Denver Botanic Gardens is one of twelve botanical gardens in six countries, from South Africa to Australia, that are simultaneously opening this exhibition of augmented reality (AR) artwork by some of the world’s leading creators. Artists including Ai Weiwei, Isaac Julien CBE RA, El Anatsui, and Pamela Rosenkranz are contributing virtual pieces that can be viewed through a smartphone or tablet and respond to the flora of each garden, whether desert cacti in Tucson or indoor rainforests at the Eden Project in England. With topics of nature, sustainability, and the connections between the digital and physical world, Seeing the Invisible uses some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet to unite viewers around the globe. botanicgardens.org

TAXI Community / Denver, Colorado Community Forms

The first permanent art installation from nomadic Denver-based art museum Black Cube is a sculpture, skatepark, and flood-mitigation landscape with undulating concrete where skaters can soar and rain can be guided away from areas where it may stagnate. Created by artist Matt Barton, Community Forms is situated on the public campus of the TAXI development that includes both residential and work spaces. It’s a fresh way to think about public art that fosters community and encourages environmental consciousness while offering a dynamic statement through curvy contours that are perfect for getting air. blackcube.art

Cannon Fodder Survey

Guns are a leading topic of national discourse right now. Here, we asked professional question asker, pollster Bob Meadow of Lake Research Partners, to pose his nine most important questions regarding firearms in America. We encourage you to ponder these, make notes, and send us your responses.

Question 1 of 9

When current public discussion begins with limiting assault weapons, rather than how are we best kept safe in our homes, schools, and public spaces—are we asking the right questions?

Question 2 of 9

Why are rates of gun violence so much higher in the United States than they are in other developed countries, or even culturally similar countries like Canada or Australia?

Question 3 of 9

Given our heritage and Constitution, can gun violence be reduced by legislation and policing without a fundamental shift in our culture? Why or why not?

Question 4 of 9

Should we be looking for a series of small changes, or one major change, in how we address the question of guns in America? What might the change(s) be?

Question 5 of 9

Should gun violence, as a matter of life and death, be addressed as a public-health issue, the same way we treat drug addiction, communicable diseases, smoking, and obesity?

Question 6 of 9

What do you think of the sentiment that having a good guy with a gun is the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun?

Question 7 of 9

Courts have determined that no constitutional right—even free speech—is absolute when it harms others. Should that logic apply to the availability of guns under the Second Amendment?

Question 8 of 9

Should guns be available for purchase anywhere or from anyone, such as at gun shows or from private owners? Or should guns be available only from licensed and regulated vendors?

Question 9 of 9

What could be the common ground for “pro-gun” and “gun control” advocates to engage in a dialogue to address gun violence constructively and effectively?
