The theme of the exhibition is paradise, spanning from depictions of ancient walled gardens and biblical Edens to more contemporary concerns about ecology and endangered natural resources. Gardens appear as sanctuaries – literal, imagined, sacred, and profane – as played out in various cultures, traditions, and historical ideas. Often there is a hint of darkness, a threat – like the snake in Eden. But the attraction of these lush, magnificent green spaces is powerful and undeniable. The show is a reprisal of an exhibition organized for the NYC Parks Department and presented at the Arsenal on Fifth Avenue in 2006.
