Yevgeniya Kaganovich: grow

   

Artist-in-residence Yevgeniya Kaganovich brings her durational project to a close with an exhibition--indoors and out--of all the interconnected, plant-like forms that she, her students, and community members have made from recycled plastic bags over a period of four years. There will be a closing reception on October 1, and visitors are welcome to return on Sunday, October 2, to adopt a plant or two; what remains will be recycled.
