The Infanttree Project, by Larry Thompson

Presented by Space One Eleven at Space One Eleven

Since September 11, 2001, The United States has been involved in two wars. 2.5 million American soldiers have or are serving in these wars, yet a large portion of our society is unaware of the effects war has had on these service members and their families. Space One Eleven will exhibit an installation of artworks by artist Larry Thompson titled, The Infanttree Project, which is his response to America’s insulation from the carnages of war. As an artist, Associate Dean and Professor at the private liberal arts institution, Samford University, Thompson has long encountered students who are disconnected from our current wars. This disconnect is not contained to university students, but extends to the rest of the country and may be attributed to the lack of coverage by news media. In the news today, more attention is often given to who was voted off a reality television show than to the humans that died on a given day as a result of war.
