garden city
A collation and exhibition of material produced as part of a three week residency at Testing Grounds, a community park and art project in the CBD of Melbourne. The residency concentrated on the role of gardens and plants in urban environments and involved a participatory project in which visitors made magical talismans to nourish the soil of the site, a stationary overnight expedition, and a series of absurd 'how to' gardening videos.
