Artist Gardeners

Artist Gardeners is a project initiated by London artist Dimitri Launder, formerly the primus motor behind the artist-run space Area Ten in Peckham, South London. Artist Gardeners appears to be another development within the growing field of urban agriculture, eco-art and alternative ways of thinking about sculptural interventions in both public and private space.

Everywhere you look in the city at the moment there are cranes.

Francis McKee in the catalogue to Psycho Buildings (Hayward Gallery (2008):
"We live in a world increasingly determined by transience and cities of the 21st. century are in a constant state of flux. Now, cranes have becomes a permanent feature of the landscape as this accelerated process endlessly reshapes every city."
