Thursday, October 28 · 7:00pm – 9:30pm
Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE)

Six artists or collectives discussing their current gardens, all in the exhibition “The Gardens of LACMA” (June 30 – Nov 7) at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Curated by Fallen Fruit (David Burns, Matias Viegener, Austin Young) the exhibition examines the garden in an expanded field. It asks whether a garden can do more than be decorative or be productive – can a garden in fact express an idea, or serve as a container for a set of questions and concepts?

The artists will briefly present their very different gardens, and then follow by asking each other questions about the projects. Questions will then be opened to the audience. Our goal is to have a conversation on the expanded potential of the garden, social practice, and what lies in, on and beyond the garden.

With Lauren Bon and the Metabolic Studio (Jules Rochielle Sievert), Didier Hess (Jenna Didier & Oliver Hess), Fallen Fruit (David Burns, Matias Viegener, Austin Young), National Bitter Melon Council (Hiroko Kikuchi, Jeremy Liu), Roots of Compromise (Karen Atkinson, John Burtle, Ari Kletzky, and Owen Driggs), and Asa Sonjasdotter.
