Creative disruption: As PIELC (the Public Interest Environmental Law Conference) wraps Eugene in a big green hug March 5-8, one of the conference panelists, writer Mary DeMocker, is “condemning” her neighborhood with an interactive public art installation. DeMocker has run a 300-foot faux liquified natural gas pipeline through the yards along the 21st avenue block between Agate and Emerald, which will be up through Sunday, March 8. “I started out just thinking it would be on my front lawn,” DeMocker says, but then neighbors warmed to the idea. “I talked to them one by one.” The installation draws attention to the local and global environmental hazards of the LNG pipeline, as well as highlighting the PIELC panel “Creative Disruption: How Ordinary People are Breaking All the Rules — and Saving Planet Earth” with DeMocker as well as Bill McKibben, Kathleen Dean Moore and Mary C. Wood 4 pm Thursday, March 5, in the EMU Ballroom on the UO campus.
