“PARK” explores the relationship between the public park and the landfill. “PARK: Fresh Kills #2” occurred as the culmination of a rarely-awarded two year artist residency at the site of Freshkills Park, a 2,200 acre emergent park being developed over the next 30 years at Fresh Kills Landfill. When it closed in 2001, Fresh Kills was the largest landfill in the world.
