Merit Award Winners
Portland Institute for Contemporary Art 2005 Time-Based Art Festival
“The Works Garden”
Jury Comments:
"In the hands of these designers, scaffolding and a few borrowed shrubs were transformed into a delightful work of architecture punctuated with greenery. With apologies to the dancers and performance artists PICA presented, this project is actually the ultimate example of time-based art."
"Great temporary project that proves you can be creative with a limited budget. The transparency, the light, the common materials: the whole transcends its parts."
