A Gift to the Future: Tree Mountain by Agnes Denes | IN THE WORKS | THE ...
Agnes Denes reminisces on creating "Tree Mountain-A Living Time Capsule—11,000 Trees, 11,000 People, 400 Years," a collaborative bioremediation artwork and a human-made virgin forest in Ylöjärvi, Finland. From conception to completion, the creation of “Tree Mountain” spanned from 1984 to 1996. A model and documentation from the work will be presented as part of the major exhibition “Agnes Denes: Absolutes and Intermediates” (October 9 – March 22) at The Shed.
“The trees must outlive the present era and, by surviving, carry our concepts into an unknown time in the future. If civilization as we know it ends or changes, there will be a reminder in the form of a strange forest for our descendants to ponder. They may reflect on an undertaking that did not serve personal needs but the common good and the highest ideals of humanity and its environment while benefiting future generations.” —Agnes Denes
