An Exhibition curated by Peter Franck and Kathleen Triem,
Participating artists: Jae Hi Ahn, Jane Benson, Elizabeth Demaray, Dan Devine, Alex Fischer, Baris Karayazgan, John Powers, Lisa Solomon and Peter Stempel
Nature Not Nature explored ways in which artists represent or make use of nature in the construction of outdoor art. The gamut of installations created a dialogue revolving around the representation of nature using natural and artificial materials. Nature Not Nature was a curatorial experiment which goes to root issues of making art constructions in an outdoor context. Questions relating to form and material are provocative in the landscape of the sculpture park.
"Bivouac" 2007, an Exhibition Curated by Max Goldfarb
Participating artists: Michael Cataldi, Ross Cisneros, Charles Goldman, Max Goldfarb, Kahn/Selesnick, Jose Krapp, Marie Lorenz, Matthew Lusk, Mary Mattingly, John Osorio-Buck, Garrett Ricciardi, Elinor Whidden and Allison Wiese
Bivouac included a small outpost of skilled improvisational designers; expeditionary artists whose works approximate dwellings. Their sheltering forms are the trace of a civilization of dignified survivalists, poetical pragmatists and networked autonomists. The works demonstrate a progressive compulsion to construct from the bones of a failed utopia. Neither primitive hut, nor decorated shed, these artworks served as prototypical responses to aggravated social conditions.
Out of Context: Photography in the Landscape 2006
Curated by Peter Franck and Kathleen Triem
Participating artists: Meredith Allen, Katharina Bosse, David Franck, Andrew Garn, Ellen Kooi, Michael Krondl, Sebastian Lemm, Valerie Merians, Portia Munson, Donna Nield, Type A, Ruud van Empel and Takashi Yasumura
Out of Context was about the ability of images to create their own context or space, both ignoring and engaging the landscape surrounding it. Thirteen international contemporary photographers each created 10'x16' vinyl images which were suspended in locations throughout the park.
Summer Selections 2005
Todt- "Tot Guards" Exhibit 2005
Goldberg Collection Exhibit 2005
Curated by Kathleen Triem + Peter Franck
Summer Selections 2005 included a retrospective of the important painter and sculptor Stanley Boxer, installations by Steven Brower, Dewitt Godfrey, Mark Goulthorpe/dECOi/MIT, Hyungsub Shin, Bernar Venet, Bill Wilson and Nina Levy. In addition, a series of images mounted on huge billboards by the artist collective TODT. The Fields presented two pieces by the important Polish artist, Magdalena Abakanowitz. Several important pieces were on generous loan from The Carol and Arthur Goldberg Collection.
One Person Exhibitions

Part 4: Public Notice: Painting In the Landscape 2004
Co-curated by Sabine Russ, Gregory Volk, Peter Franck and Kathleen Triem
Participating artists: Thordis Adalsteinsdottir, Mike Ballou, Ati Maier and Tilo Schulz, Joyce Pensato, Greg Stone and Carrie Waldman
Public Notice: Painting in the Sculpture Park featured six billboard-sized original paintings installed in The Fields. This unusual exhibition of outdoor paintings radically extended what a sculpture park is and can be, including its most basic role as a place to display sculptures. Instead of durable sculptures made from metal, stone, or other materials, one will find actual paintings specially prepared to function as outdoor works.
Part 3: Into the Gloaming: Light in the Landscape, 2003
Co-curated by Koan Jeff Baysa, Peter Franck and Kathleen Triem
Participating artists: Cathey Billian, Emma Dewing, Habib Kheradyar, Simon Lee, Perry Mamaril, Lisa Mordhorst, Warren Neidich & Paula Hayes, Michael Petry, Erwin Redl, Nobi Shioya, Leo Villareal
Gloaming is the Scottish word for twilight, that sacred in-between time of transition between the activity of our daily routine to the quiet of night and rest. This transitional period is an ideal time to experience works that deal with light in the landscape, from subtle works that glow from beyond the crest of a hill, incongruous neon works in the countryside, or small works approached from afar as mere glints. Perhaps, in effect more definitive than most other landscape art, this show, which ran for one year's duration took advantage of the inherent atmospheric changes due to seasonal attributes. The show looked vastly different with a white background and crisp clear winter days than during the foggy evenings of the fall. The glowing sculptures had a surreal quality in the still, darkened landscape, yet during the summer months, with lightning bugs which glow as frenetic beacons at night, the pieces seemed strangely at home.
Part 2: Sound in the Landscape, 2002
Co-curated by Jeffrey Lependorf with Peter Franck and Kathleen Triem
Participating artists: Bill and Mary Buchen, Jeffrey Lependorf, Matthew McCaslin, Joshua Selman Jeffrey Talman, Paulo Vivaqua
Sound in the Landscape investigated the way in which sound can make boundaries in space, and in so doing, become sculptural. Sound cannot ever become an object; it is entirely fluid and spatially indeterminate. But certainly sound can create a very strong sense of presence, place or reference, since it is, in some respects, the aural equivalent of an image or representation. Sound is eminently capable of moving us to experience an array of emotions, specific locations, events, moods and abstractions in an analogous fashion to the plastic arts, yet unlike sculpture, we never see a sound.
Part 1: Image in the Landscape, 2001
Curated by Peter Franck and Kathleen Triem
Image in the Landscape was conceived as a way of subverting the idea of "representation" in sculpture. The concept of "image," or figuration, implies heroic monumentality and the commemoration of historic events and personalities, or at the very least, the safe soothing and bourgeois surroundings of a formal garden. Despite these connotations of power and conservatism (both artistic and political) this genre sometimes provokes a deep connection between memory and place.
Modules 2001
Curated by Peter Franck and Kathleen Triem
Participating artists: Mikyung Kim, Stefanie Nagorka, Donna Nield, John Powers and Gary Quinonez
Modules was a reexamination of a particular strategy for making sculpture. Instead of focusing on the solidity and indivisibility of an isolated object, the pieces presented in this show used the device of reproduction and combination of elements in a multitude of strategies.
Andre Emmerich Collection Exhibit 2000
Curated by Kathleen Triem and Peter Franck
Aedicules 1999
Curated by Peter Franck and Kathleen Triem
Participating artists: Sylvia Benitez, Jackie Brookner, Jared Handelsman, Gillian Jagger, Thomas Leeser, Ann Messner, Mikyung Kim, Ken Smith, Robert Werthamer and Jerilea Zempel
Aedicules refers to a small architectural element, sometimes a protective structure or domicile. In the facades of Gothic cathedrals, aedicules are the archways and niches, which contain sculptures and reliefs. Generally, aedicules mark and create space and define locations. For this show, artists, architects and landscape architects were asked to use materials of the landscape to create an aedicule.
