Nick Ferguson – The Gardens of Heathrow

Wednesday 9th October – 12.30-2pm

In this talk artist Nick Ferguson explores the figure of the garden in representations of the ground we have come to call Heathrow Airport The talk traces the deployment of a gardening imaginary in multiple, coextensive and often rival articulations of the ‘what and where’ of Heathrow by actors across the political spectrum and from all walks of life It contextualises these representations within discourses of planetary crisis and asks how they might be channelled in ways that are genuinely restorative.

Nick Ferguson is a British artist, theorist and curator, and professor of Art and Environmental Cultures at Richmond.
