Please join us for the opening reception and the First Saturday Gallery
Crawl Saturday, November 7 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Twist presents an
installation and exhibit by Gregg Schlanger and Monica Quattrochio
which opens Saturday, November 7, 2009 from 6 until 9 pm.  The show
runs through November 28, 2009.

Both artists bring focus to water use around the world. Basic Water
Requirements (BWR) refers to domestic water usage per person per day
and includes water for: drinking, human hygiene, sanitation services and
food preparation. It has been established that the Basic Water
Requirements (BWR) per person is 50 liters of water each day for basic
human needs.

Unfortunately 20% of the world's population only uses around 5 liters
each day. More than 1 billion people do not have access to clean
drinking water and do not have access to the B. W. R. of 50 liters per
day.“It is my intention to bring awareness about this global crisis
through this piece. As a global community, we should guarantee that
every person has access and the right to at least 50 liters of clean
water everyday,” Schlanger explains.

Monica Quattrochio is a fine art photographer working in Clarksville,
Tennessee.  “My photographs are a study on water and its essential
purpose for the function of the human body in relation to the symbolic
meanings that quench the spirit. . . ."
