Revelatory Landscapes

The union of the disciplines of landscape design and environmental installation has created a new hybrid of art and design. Revelatory Landscapes documents four Bay Area–based, site-specific installations commissioned by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. With the common theme of exploring and revealing the “edge of the urban scene,” these projects — temporary and experimental in nature — suggest the boundaries and spaces created by the emotional, socioeconomic, and cultural threads in the sub/urban fabric. The four projects are by: Kathryn Gustafson, Jaimi Baer, and Conger Moss Guillard Landscape Architecture; Hargreaves Associates in collaboration with Julian Lang; Hood Design in collaboration with Olly Wilson and Douglas Hollis; and Tom Leader Studio in collaboration with Anuradha Mathur and Dilip da Cunha.
