Known for her pioneering conceptual and environmental art, Denes has long questioned the impact of industrialization and privatization on the natural world, urging us to reimagine land as a shared resource.
Through radical map projections and ecological proposals, Denes expands our understanding of the planet as both system and symbol. Anchored by documentation of iconic projects like Wheatfield—A Confrontation (1982), where Denes cultivated a wheat field in Manhattan as a symbol of global inequities, the exhibition highlights her deep commitment to sustainable futures.

At a time of escalating climate crises, Denes’ work pushes us to reconsider how land and nature can foster collective responsibility and ecological renewal.
