August has brought a return of green (amazing how fast the grass can go from utterly parched to reasonably hopeful), just in time for the plein-air painters who are joining Eric Aho for his workshop,

2004 Nohl Fellow William Andersen recently sold a piece from his 2005 Nohl Exhibition, Mi er wa qi, to our good friends at Chipstone. The piece, a chinoiserie drill (pictured below), is displayed alongside other works by Andersen at Chipstone.

Mark Escribano, a 2003 Nohl fellow, has a great Q&A with Art City's Mary Louise Schumacher over on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel site. The conversation touches on Escribano's move from Milwaukee to Los Angeles, his recent work on several "orphaned" art films he began while living in Milwaukee, and more. Read the interview here.

Nicholas Lampert, one of the Established artists awarded a 2011 Nohl Fellowship, collaborated with Dan S. Wang for a print in Zone of Contention: The U.S./Mexico Border at the Weatherspoon Art Museum at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. The exhibition was curated by Xandra Eden, one of the jurors who selected the 2011 Nohl Fellows, and who became accquainted with Lampert's work during that process.

After our successful collaboration with Alverno Presents for the Eiko + Koma performance last summer, we went right back to the table to consider ways we could extend the partnership and bring more pe

As some visitors to the garden have noticed, George Rickey's Peristyle--Three Lines (1963-1964) has been absent from its perch on the patio by the pool for some time now. Because the "three lines" of Peristyle's title are moving parts, it was necessary to bring the sculpture indoors during the windiest months to avoid damage. But now (despite today's wind) the Rickey returns to its rightful location!

Our Director of Education, Jeremy Stepien, took photos of some of the plein air paintings created during our 2nd Anniversary Celebration/Plein Air Painting Day this past Saturday. I'm excited to post them here on the blog, but unfortunately I don't have info for all of them. If your painting is posted below, please email me at staff@lyndensculpturegarden.org so I can credit you. Thanks again to everybody who participated!

Although technically our second anniversary was May 30th, we designated yesterday for our official celebration and planned a day of activities centered around plein air painting. Some guests brought their own painting materials. Others checked out watercolor kits from our art studio and found painting spots out on the grounds.

Heather Eiden kicked off her summer yoga series, Yoga in the Garden, with a free introductory session. (You can join Heather every Sunday from 1-2:30 pm for yoga at Lynden.)

Meanwhile, Ali Lubbad and Michael Kashou of the Painted Caves were deep in the groove on the patio, using a range of string, percussion and wind instruments and loops to provide the soundtrack for the day's festivities. Their meditative, entrancing sounds were perfect for dancing, artmaking, wandering and relaxing.

Guests took a tour of the sculpture with docent Lloyd Hickson and a tour of the numerous varieties of trees on the grounds with Sharon Morrisey and Jason Housworth. There were cookies (from Amaranth Bakery) and lemonade, the weather was beautiful, and a wonderful time was had by all.

We'd like to thank everyone who helped out, participated and attended. We'll see you next year for the 3rd anniversary!
