Mary Mattingly is a visual artist. She founded Swale, an edible
landscape on a barge in New York City. Docked at public piers but
following waterways common laws, Swale circumnavigates New York's
public land laws, allowing anyone to pick free fresh food. Swale
instigated and co-created the "foodway" in Concrete Plant Park, the
Bronx in 2017. The "foodway" is the first time New York City Parks
is allowing people to publicly forage in over 100 years. It's
currently considered a pilot project. Mattingly recently launched
Public Water with More Art and completed a two-part sculpture
“Pull” for the International Havana Biennial with the Museo
Nacional de Bellas Artes de la Habana and the Bronx Museum of the
Arts, two spherical ecosystems that were pulled across Habana to
Parque Central and the museum. In 2018 she received a commission
from BRIC Arts Media to build "What Happens After" which involved
dismantling a military vehicle (LMTV) that had been to Afghanistan
and deconstructing its mineral supply chain. A group of artists
including performance artists, veterans, and public space activists
re-envisioned the vehicle for BRIC. In 2016 Mattingly led a similar
project at the Museum of Modern Art. In 2014, an artist residency
on the water called WetLand launched in Philadelphia and traveled
to the Parrish Museum. It was employed by the University of
Pennsylvania’s Environmental Humanities program until 2017. Mary
Mattingly’s work has also been exhibited at Storm King, the
International Center of Photography, the Seoul Art Center, the
Brooklyn Museum, the New York Public Library, deCordova Museum and
Sculpture Park, and the Palais de Tokyo. Her work has been featured
in Aperture Magazine, Art in America, Artforum, Art News, Sculpture
Magazine, The New York Times, New York Magazine, Financial Times,
Le Monde Magazine, Metropolis Magazine, New Yorker, The Wall Street
Journal, the Brooklyn Rail, and on BBC News, MSNBC, NPR, WNBC, and
on Art21. Her work has been included in books such as the
Whitechapel/MIT Press Documents of Contemporary Art series titled
“Nature” and edited by Jeffrey Kastner, Triple Canopy’s
Speculations, the Future Is... published by Artbook, and Henry
Sayre’s A World of Art, 8th edition, published by Pearson
