The group exhibition Garden State shows a selection of artworks from the Netherlands and beyond. The artworks spotlight wild margins from our super-monitored surroundings and examine the ‘garden methodologies’ of contemporary control systems. The concept of the exhibition is inspired by the city of Rotterdam, its port, and its landscape engineering.
As a group, the works aspire to give a non-mainstream portrait of the urban cityscape. Garden State presents critical reflections on various topics including land use, reclamation, mapping, militarism and territory, urban growth, industrial technologies, and their repercussions on nature and ecosystems.
