Individual Session: Art, Music & Ephemerality in the Designed Landscape
Tuesday, March 22, noon – 3:30 p.m. CST
While Gary Smith has been a major player in the ecological design movement for much of its existence, he now devotes his primary design energies to ephemeral environmental art. He will discuss this work, how it can influence design practice, and how its immediacy can reflect natural processes of change in the landscape. Landscape designer and music composer Larry Weaner will then discuss the commonalities between garden design and music composition, two arts that are experienced sequentially over time. He will also illustrate how improvisation and response to spontaneous events – techniques common to contemporary classical music and jazz – can have particular relevance in “wild” garden settings.
Speaker: W. Gary Smith, FASLA & Larry Weaner, FAPLD
$88 per person
