A Reading with Ann Rosenthal

Formerly a symbol of immense urban waste, the Fresh Kills Landfill is being transformed into an enormous park destined to exemplify the values of ecological restoration and environmental sustainability. In partnership with NYC Parks, the Land Art Generator Initiative held an ideas competition for a site-specific public artwork designed to operate as a source of clean energy for the city utility grid, using Freshkills Park as the design site.

Regenerative Infrastructures features many of the top submissions to that open call, each with the capacity to power hundreds of homes. The Land Art Generator Initiative creates sustainable design solutions that integrate art and technology into renewable energy infrastructure around the world. Regenerative Infrastructures draws a much needed connection between the two critical issues of sustainable development— energy generation and waste management—highlighting solutions that address both problems at once, thereby creating economically beneficial hybrid utility installations. Ann Rosenthal’s art installations address the local manifestation of global concerns, including climate change, food safety, and nuclear waste. Her work has been shown over the last decade at The Andy Warhol Museum and the Mattress Factory in Pittsburgh, Exit Art and the Hudson River Museum in New York, the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education in Philadelphia, and Kunsthaus Kaufbeuren in Germany.

Regenerative Infrastructures was partially funded through Furthermore: a program of the J.M. Kaplan Fund

In conjunction with the exhibition Land Art Generator Initiative: Freshkills Park, in the Arsenal Gallery, June 27 – August 30, 2013.
