Zack Pieper: GHOST GARDEN | Opening Celebration and Out There Music Performances
FREE
Lynden celebrates spooky season with Zack Pieper’s site-specific GHOST GARDEN, an installation made specifically for the windows of our main entrance. Join us for A Harvest of the Ghosts and, at sundown, a Ghost Illumination. The Out There series enlivens the proceedings with three spooky outdoor performances: Julian Lynch (Madison), Barbouille Hymn (Peter Barrickman, Xavier Leplae, Didier Leplae, Andrew Kaiser - Milwaukee), and A Crushed Rose” (Alisa Rodriguez – Milwaukee). Enjoy hot cider, smores, and bonfires as the sun goes down and the GHOST GARDEN comes alive. Dress for the weather (feel free to give your Halloween costume one more outing) and consider carpooling—parking is limited and it’s better for the planet. GHOST GARDEN remains on view through November 22, 2025.
About the Artists
Zack Pieper is a Milwaukee artist whose work spans poetry, performance, essays, songs, radio plays, and visual art. His writing and images have appeared in The Brooklyn Rail, The Milwaukee Anthology, and various small press publications and ephemera. In 2019, Adjunct Press released SAME HERE, selections from a decade of poems. He is the co-founder of Activities Archive, an audio archive of experimental pop, performance and sound art, spanning several decades of Milwaukee-affiliated multimedia artists. Each year, Pieper draws thousands of ghosts on post-it notes, ceremoniously placing them in the windows of various public sites.
The Out There series is a Milwaukee-based performance series, providing an ongoing opportunity for Midwest poets, musicians, and performance artists to share their unique experiences of sound in outdoor spaces such as parks, green spaces, and other distinct locations. This is Out There’s second appearance at Lynden.
