1997-2000

A six square mile watershed

This was the first of two artist led research projects that focused upon the values that shape the human relationship to a large scale post-industrial landscape ecosystem. Working over a period of three years, theories about aesthetics, ecological recovery, and radical approaches to art, planning, and design were developed and tested through art practice. Three artists and an attorney worked with scientists, citizens and the City of Pittsburgh to agree a concept development plan for the eco-aesthetic recovery of small river valley, and an extension of a public park.
