Turf and Terrain was built from the stuff of Foggy Bottom. Looking to the area’s industrial roots, architectural heritage, and natural history, this exhibition unearths, uproots, and expands the landscape and legacy of Foggy Bottom with new life, new monuments, and new inhabitants with new stories to tell.

Turf and Terrain, the 2016 Arts in Foggy Bottom Outdoor Sculpture Biennial, featured sculptures, new media installations and performances by 14 local, regional and international artists in the Foggy Bottom Historic District. Artists installed their works in front of private homes throughout the Foggy Bottom neighborhood. Turf and Terrain was rooted in the sites and stories of Foggy Bottom, and took on an expanded notion of medium and sculpture. Artists engaged the legacy of historic Foggy Bottom ranging from the figural, the abstract, and even the fantastical; to interactive, performative, and new media works.

Artists: Benjamin Andrew, Eames Armstrong, Becky Borlan, Krista Caballero and Frank Ekeberg, Brian Davis, Lisa Dillin, Rob Hackett, Nicole Herbert, Patrick McDonough, Jonathan Monaghan, Lindsay Pichaske, Dane Winkler, and Julie Zirlin.
