This innovative book poses two, deceptively simple, questions: what
is a sculpture garden, and what happens when you give equal weight
to the main elements of landscape, planting and artwork? Its
wide-ranging frame of reference, including the USA, Europe and
Japan, is brought into focus through Tremenheere Sculpture Garden,
Cornwall, with which the book begins and ends. Effectively less
than 15 years old, and largely the work of one man, Tremenheere
affords an opportunity to examine as work-in-progress the creation
of a new kind of sculpture garden. Including a historical overview,
the book traverses multiple ways of seeing and experiencing
sculpture gardens, culminating in an exploration of their relevance
as 'cultural ecology' in the context of globalisation, urbanisation
and climate change. The thinking here is non-dualist and broadly
aligned with New Materialisms and Material Feminisms to explore our
place as humans in the non-human world on which we depend. Eminent
contributors, including John Dixon Hunt, George Descombes, Bernard
Lassus and David Leatherbarrow, approach these issues through
practices and theories of landscape architecture; garden and art
making; history and writing; and philosophy. Richly illustrated
with over 100 images, including a colour plate section, the book
will primarily appeal to those engaged in professional or academic
research, along with sculpture garden visitors, who will find new
and surprising ways of experiencing plants and art in natural and
urban settings.
