Land The Session titled THE LAND will use the Mildred's Land ninety-five acres as a laboratory for far-reaching exploration of issues in landscape, earth art and progressive ustainable technologies. The goal will be to imbue the site with a number of projects, which will have long-term benefits to future residents. This session will utilize techniques and methodologies of mapping; plant and animal identification; camping; sustainable harvesting and processing of wild foods; also, both traditional and experimental dwelling construction. We will eventfully collaborate through wild entanglements with the site, which includes streams, a stone quarry, woodland, fields, gardens and bee yards. New resident artists will attempt to expand the "workstyles" model to the great outdoors far beyond the white walls of the gallery. This extensive program will include a diverse gathering of cultural professionals: Architects, Artists, Farmers, Builders, Naturalists, Writers and Environmental Professionals, who will lead workshops, lectures and/or demonstrations. One possible result of the session's activities will be production of an illustrated field guide to Mildred's Lane which would be collectively authored. This is a program primarily for fellows of a slightly more energetic and rugged sensibility, who do not shy from spending a few nights in the woods.
