Markman has been working with art in public space since 2000. Her work often deals with plants and urban gardens but is ultimately concerned […]
Fall is hitting Copenhagen and we are interested to see if the amount of apartment hunting signs around the neighborhood slows down. One local MQ commenter suggests that the flurry of signs appearing in the city during the summer months could be because of the shortage of housing for students. This may be one cause, […]
I recently returned from a trip to Derry, Northern Ireland where I worked with artist in residence Andrea Francke at the Centre for Contemporary Art on a workshop about urban ecology, foraging, map making and orienting yourself to a place.
Brett and I first worked […]
