Fritz Haeg: Something for Everyone

June 27, 2010, to January 2, 2011

Experience Fritz Haegâ€™s unconventional exhibition, Something for Everyone, a series of participatory projects for plants, animals, and people presented in the Museumâ€™s grounds and atrium. One component, Edible Estate #9, places a productive garden on the Museumâ€™s pristine front lawn in Ridgefieldâ€™s historic district, where the Museum staff will grow their own food and create compost, transforming this longstanding symbol of the â€œAmerican Dreamâ€ and questioning definitions of agriculture and art. For updates about programs and events related to the exhibition, as well as time-lapse photographs of the installation, please visit:
