A City Designed by Trees Exhibition
Commissioned for the 2022 Daejeon Biennale “City Project,” we weave together science, art, and cultural traditions to imagine a city designed by trees.
City as Weeds
We normally think of weeds as enemies. In this exhibition, we suggest that weeds are healers of the land, of people, and of cities.
A City is Part of the Universe
Many of us recognize the need for more ecological lifestyles, but if we live in a city with little or no ‘ecology’ around us, where on earth do we start?
Shotengai: Shopping Streets and Bicycles
Explore an old Japanese neighborhood where few people would consider going to the market in a car. In Kagaya, bicycles and pedestrians rule the road.
A Japanese Neighborhood Where Time Stopped: Virtue in Slowness
Stories and images from Kitakagaya, an old Osaka neighborhood with little money, yet a wealth of strange, beautiful, and useful ways of approaching life, work, and cities.
City as Nature Festival, Osaka
Join a celebration and a journey through art, music, culture, and environmental landscapes in Osaka’s port-side creative village. シティーズネイチャーフェスティバルは皆のためのお祝いです。自然と水をテーマにした展覧会やトークイベント、ワークショップなどを行うアートフェスティバル。
A City, Designed by Trees
Seeing trees as sacred is not an anomaly, it’s the fact that our culture has somehow lost this fellowship that’s an anomaly. If trees are a keystone of our wellness, why not learn to listen to their voice? If we did, how might the things we hear transform the landscape of our city over time? What would a city look like if it were designed by trees?
Feel.City.Nature
A “sensing” exercise that helps participants focus their sense and awareness of a place, and sparks their creativity and problem solving abilities.
Blood, Sweat, Dirt, and the City
Nature is not always romantic. In fact, it can be downright dirty and sweaty… but suppose that is the whole point?
Free Food Kit
On the face, the installation is a simple call for visitors to take seed into the community to be planted. Yet it also asks us to reconsider the links between ourselves and the food we eat, and the role and power of a seed.
Is Global Warming Really the Problem?
We are born to the world as a part of nature — well, except for test tube babies — and will also leave the world as a part of nature — okay, plus maybe some formaldehyde, antibiotics and whatnot. It’s just this whole ‘living’ part between being born and death where we seem to have things a little screwed up.
