"the Knowledge of our Field"

Listening to Lawns

On this website, you can interact with the project "the Knowledge of our Field."

This project takes "the lawn" as a site of critical inquiry. What societal anxieties convene in lawns? What are the ecological demands of lawn? What biological and social ecosystems are lawns a part of? How do lawns exist simultaneously as private and public spaces, and how does this space suggest questions about privacy and consent?

You can read more about the project.

"What in heaven's name is the reason that the sun never sets on the empire of the dandelion? Perhaps the success fo European imperialism has a biological, an ecological, component."

Alfred W. Crosby, Ecological Imperialism: The Biological Expansion of Europe, 900-1900 (Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 1986), 7.

Sourcing the Weeds

There are a ton of wonderful plants to be found in any given lawn.

Zine

As a part of this project, I created a Zine for my residency at Plantage Dok in Amsterdam.

Where next?

The "lawn kiosk" is not yet scheduled to land anywhere in the near future. Please check back in at a later date.

Alternatively, you can be in touch, and bring the kioks to a lawn near you.
