“The Wonder Gardens”: Art, Science, and the Occult Converge at The Collective 62
Beatriz Chachamovits, Christina Pettersson and Deryn Cowdy
The Collective 62 invites you to “The Wonder Gardens,” a captivating exhibition that explores the hidden wonders of the natural world through the lens of art, science, and the occult. Join artists Beatriz Chachamovits, Christina Pettersson, and Deryn Cowdy on Sunday, October 6th, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM for an immersive experience that delves into the cyclical rhythm of regeneration and the intricate beauty of decay.
“The Wonder Gardens” offers a unique perspective on the interconnectedness of life, presenting a toad’s-eye view of the vibrant ecosystem that thrives beneath the surface. From disrupted roots reimagined as a dystopian inverted garden to a utopian vision of germination and growth, the exhibition explores the transformative power of decay and the vital role it plays in the cycle of life.
Through their diverse artistic practices, Chachamovits, Pettersson, and Cowdy create a multi-sensory experience that invites viewers to dive into a forest floor teeming with life – insects, moths, millipedes, beetles, reptiles, moss, and mycelium. The exhibition highlights the often-overlooked beauty and complexity of soil life, promoting an understanding of how something as seemingly simple as composting is, in fact, a microcosm of life’s origins.
“The Wonder Gardens” also prompts reflection on the potential for reimagining urban spaces to accommodate other species. By embracing wildlife corridors, safe spaces, and less formal aesthetics, we can create a more harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, transforming ruins and detritus into thriving ecosystems.
