RADICAL Olivia d'Aboville & Denis Lagdameo



In December the BGC Offsite Gallery will be transformed into an imaginary garden 
with interactive installations by Denis Lagdameo and light flowers by Olivia d’Aboville. 
Inspired by wild flora, The Garden will showcase stylized plants and flower-looking installations of different sizes. 
Visitors can rest or interact with large scale pieces and walk through the flower gardens and giant dandelions.
The Garden uses energy-saving lighting to promote environmentally sustainable light art installations. 
Visitors can witness the change at nightfall when the pieces come to life with colorful lighting.
The Garden is a sustainable installation partially made of recycled pieces. 
After the exhibition, the pieces will be transformed again into something new.
 THE GARDEN
Opens on December 19, 2012 at ARTS in the City
