This gallery exhibition is presented by Plant Pioneers and collaborators on November 9th from 7-9pm with drink and refreshments served. The exhibition highlights the group’s work with the vegetal landscape in the upstate New York farming community of Delaware County, where artist explores the co-creative process between Plant and Farmer.

The project’s approach applies techniques that have yet to be tapped into on the farm, choosing to look beyond the human-centered farming value system towards one that is mutual, emerging, evolving and co-creative. One that makes less of an extractive and over-use, to one that gives a say to inter-species relationships. Plant Pioneers inquire with the vegetals themselves. Looking at how we all might be more regenerative in our practices, less destructive and more relational.

Would they, Plants, have preferences? Do they, Plants, already orchestrate farming activities? If so, how? Do they have impressions that offer guidance to farmer, gardener, Plant nursery person, arborists or even township road crew? This project asks, how might we acknowledge a new Plant-Farmer partnership in ways that are inter-relational, cyclical and inter-regenerative.

The exhibition is open to the public for one week with the artist on these dates:
Wednesday, Nov. 13 from 10 am – 2 pm
Friday, Nov. 15 from 11 am – 2 pm
Saturday, Nov. 16 from 12 – 3 pm

Marguerite - As artist and co-scriber of this project, my experience with Plant intelligence unabashedly takes a leap into the relational process with Lady Cannabis and other farmed Plants. It is here their impressions are key players in this human focused landscape. With queries that may ask: Are they happy? Do they like what’s going on? Do they benefit from the farms activities? How? Answers to these unknowns may be demonstrated with below creative means with Plants forging the way.
