Tuesday 19th – Saturday 23rd June
As part of Architecture week 2007 CUBE, artist Jason Minsky and landscape architects Taylor Young will be developing an off-site project called CUBE’s Takeaway Garden which will run for the period of Architecture week from June 19th – June 23rd. The theme of Architecture week this year is “How Green is Your Space?” and CUBE’s project will respond to this theme by offering free land and trees to the general public. Takeaway Garden aims to highlight the importance of living a greener existence, and to initiate individual action for global change.
CUBE’s Takeaway Garden will consist of bespoke take-away bags (recyclable) containing turf, soil, wildflower seeds and a young tree- all you need for your new garden! They will be handed out to CUBE visitors and the general public outside the CUBE Gallery and a further location in the city centre. The project will be durational and take place everyday for two hours over lunch time in order to target office staff, tourists and shoppers alike.
These beautiful FREE gardens will be available from CUBE 113-115 Portland Street, Manchester, Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester City Centre and The RENEW rooms, 82 Wood Street, Liverpool between 12-2.00pm everyday.
