Garden Improvement

Glyndor Gallery and Grounds | June 11 - August 27, 2006

To many visitors Wave Hill is a utopian garden, a place to seek ideas and inspiration. Garden Improvement poses an alternate view of the relationship between people and nature by looking at how a garden is made more inhabitable, personal, and domesticated. The exhibition includes idiosyncratic, do-it-yourself ideas born from the artists’ spirit of invention, rather than by design, all created specifically for this exhibition. Artists include Joan Bankemper, Karen Rich Beall, Jimbo Blachly & Lytle Shaw, Laure Drogoul, Charles Goldman, Paula Hayes, Marguerite Kahrl with Paul Ruff, Catarina Leitão, Cassandra Lozano, Philip Ross, Rachel Selekman, Austin Thomas and Andy Yoder.
