JARDINS PUBLICS

Michael Lin, Apolonija Sustersic, Richard Wright

Curator: Katrina Brown | Production: Katie Nicoll

Edinburgh International Festival 2007

Friday 10 Aug 2007 - Sunday 2 Sep 2007

An exhibition of specially commissioned new work by 3 artists in 4 sites for Edinburgh International Festival.

‘JARDINS PUBLICS’ asks us to consider the garden as an essentially social rather than natural space, a cultivated, created, man-made environment. With diverse references from Voltaire, through Patrick Geddes to the late Ian Hamilton Finlay, the exhibition takes its inspiration form the city of Edinburgh itself, home to Geddes – the father of modern town planning and an advocate of the social value of the garden.
