Efforts are underway to restore Fort Allen Park in Portland. The park, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, contains the original earthen berm from Fort Allen, which was established in 1814 to protect the entrance to Portland Harbor. The Park’s iconic bandstand, carriage drive, and overlook were built in the 1890s. In 1905, the renowned Olmsted Brothers landscape firm created a master plan for the Eastern Promenade, including Fort Allen Park. The Park’s original design exemplifies the ideals of the Olmsteds’ signature landscapes.

Facebook friendships exist in the nebulous world of cyberspace. Social networking creates a forum where we may connect or reconnect deeply with dear friends or become acquainted with new ones on a superficial level. But what happens when we reach across real time and space to physically connect with these same “friends”? In her new exhibition, Maine artist Tanja Alexia Hollander examines that question; she collapses the intangibility of cyberspace by traveling around the world on a modern-day odyssey to actually visit her 600 (and growing) Facebook friends.
