Five artists have responded to Wave Hill’s garden setting with autumnal works that convey a sense of the season’s transience and temporality. Joan Linder transports visitors into the stillness of the sunroom at night, inserting a new window and traces of the moon’s passage. With a backward glance or a forward glimpse Kurt Lightner recreates the stirring of human activity through a series of foundations and disrupted landscape in the south gallery. In the center gallery, Suzanne Bocanegra surrounds visitors with a collection of her conjectured native plant drawings. Lee Boroson creates a sprawling, self contained, idealized world in the north gallery. Jason Middlebrook’s sculptural elegy to the copper beech grasps at the magnificence of the beloved, lost tree.
