Piano Garden – Annea Lockwood (USA)
Installation: Saturday 29 June, 2013, 11am
Continues: forever!
Caerdroia, Gwydyr Forest, Llanrwst | Free
Soundlands’ second season launches Annea Lockwood’s re-creations of her 60s / 70s Piano Transplant series.
Annea makes ‘Piano Garden’ in Caerdroia, Gwydyr Forest – planting a piano in the ground. As prescribed in her 1969 score for the work, the piano is beyond repair and will slowly return to nature – while passers by witness its evolution.
Witness the planting then watch this space for updates over the coming months and years.
