wheatfield in downtown manhattan
 |
| Agnes Denes, 'Wheatfield - A Confrontation: Battery Park Landfill, Downtown Manhattan'. Two acres of wheat planted and harvested by the artist, Summer 1982. |
"After months of preparations, in May 1982, a 2-acre wheat field was planted on a landfill in lower Manhattan, two blocks from Wall Street and the World Trade Center, facing the Statue of Liberty.
Planting and harvesting a field of wheat on land worth $4.5 billion created a powerful paradox. Wheatfield was a symbol, a universal concept; it represented food, energy, commerce, world trade, and economics. It referred to mismanagement, waste, world hunger and ecological concerns. It called attention to our misplaced priorities. The harvested grain traveled to twenty-eight cities around the world in an exhibition called "The International Art Show for the End of World Hunger", organized by the Minnesota Museum of Art (1987-90). The seeds were carried away by people who planted them in many parts of the globe."
Seen on the Artefact 2013 exhibition - titled "A City Shaped" - in Leuven.
