Utgitt i forbindelse med utstillinger ved Vitra Design Museum, Weil am Rhein, 25. mars - 3. oktober, 2023; Design Museum Helsinki & Museum of Finnish Architecture, Helsinki, 10. november 2023 - 1. april 2024; Vandalorum, Värnamo, 27. april - 13. oktober 2024; Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam, 24. november 2024-mars 2025; V&A Dundee, april 2025 - desember 2025.. - Garden Futures examines what gardens and their design reveal about our relationship to nature. In exploring the history of ideas behind the modern garden, this book takes a close look at the present, searches into the past, and builds bridges with the future. It includes stunning photographs of groundbreaking gardens by artist Derek Jarman and garden designer Piet Oudolf, while critical essays by well-known authors question the ideals of the conventional garden from seemingly perfect, water-wasting lawns to ubiquitous plants and their colonial roots. Historical photo-essays consider the garden as a political space, and gardeners Gilles Clément and Jamaica Kincaid present the garden as a place of learning where abstract concepts like ecology, climate change, and food insecurity are translated into things you can smell, touch, and taste. Garden Futures also features experimental approaches taken by gardeners and landscape architects such as New York-based Julia Watson and Malaysian collective Kebun-Kebun Bangsar. In the age of the Anthropocene, it is hoped that this book is part of recognizing the entire planet as a garden that we need to tend to and use responsibly.
