Rootbound: Heaven and Earth 4
Artwork on display June 23 - October 31, 2012.
Click on individual numbered squares to see more about the artist and the artwork.
One of the country's only outdoor art exhibits occurring in a public nature preserve, Rootbound: Heaven and Earth IV offers visitors a 2-3 mile sculpture trail through Carkeek's canyons and creeks in northwest Seattle, highlighted this year by performance art and site-specific sculpture in 120-year old Piper's Orchard. Additional media include sound art, kinetic sculptures, and landscape interventions. All works are considered experimental: some are designed to last for the entire four month display period, June 23 - October 31, 2012, while others incorporate decay and erosion. The exhibit's themes offer a variety of perspectives on art and nature.

Voices at The Orchard Room
Saturday, September 15, 2012, at 3:00 pm at Piper's Orchard.
Music, some poetry, and a conversation led by John Boylan.
"I’ll be leading a conversation at 3 pm on Saturday afternoon, September 15, in Carkeek Park. As part of CoCA’s Heaven & Earth exhibit in the park, Cameron Mason and Lara McIntosh created a room made of silk in the park’s orchard. They’ve been staging performances and other events in the room throughout the summer. This time the two have asked me to have a conversation about the process of making art in a park, and the high probability that art left for several months in an unmonitored but highly trafficked place may be deeply changed over that time. The art may become participatory in ways the artist never envisioned. How does that affect the work and the artist’s role in creating it?"
