Envisioning the Future of Our Cities: Thinking with the Harrisons

What does remaking civic environments entail? What does remaking artworks mean? This panel will link the Harrisons’ early works, which take the form of DIY instructions and backyard farming installations as an ecological practice, with the challenges of ‘greening’ urban environments today. Drawing on the expertise of panelists involved in significant and innovative ecological work, the discussion will address questions of ownership of the commons - both of ideas and of essential requirements for life, such as water and green spaces.

Moderated by Anne Douglas and Chris Fremantle. Featuring panelists Lauren Bon, Teddy Cruz, Fonna Forman, and Cris Scorza.

Presented in conjunction with La Jolla Historical Society's PST ART: Art & Science Collide exhibition Helen and Newton Harrison: California Work.
