Camp Street Corner
March 14 - May 2, 2020
Mark Harris is investigating the African plant diaspora and the uses of plants in the Americas, including the Caribbean, during and after the 350 years of the trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. Harris will display his own text-based works related to the musical connections. This show is a collaboration with Dominique Peebles of Brick Gardens who will grow herbs in the gallery as a sculptural ‘living library.’ The germination station installation will conclude in a dinner in partnership with The Welcome Project.

This exhibition also showcases artist-drawn maps and original work created for the Edible City: An Art Atlas Project, a collaboration by the Green Umbrella’s Greater Cincinnati Regional Food Policy Council, Cincinnati Museum Center, Wave Pool, and others.

This project is being funded in part by the Haile Foundation. 

UPDATE: Due to concerns with the coronavirus and COVID-19, we are forgoing our traditional opening reception and introducing COVIDeo: Wave Pool TV. Wave Pool Gallery and The Welcome Project will be open from 12-9 for anyone who would like to come, meet the artists, and see their work. If you prefer to stay home, please follow our YouTube channel and other social media for video updates from these events.
