GALLERY Land Collective presents: CAPABILITY PINK
About this Event
For the third year in a row, GALLERY Land Collective is proud to present our Pride Month exhibition: Capability Pink Designs A Pleasure Garden With You! by Jeff Joseph Katz, a drag performance turned landscape architecture lecture. Four times over the course of June, performances will take place opposite David Rubin's Antique Garden Tool Collection, with implements spanning the 18th through the 20th centuries.
Synopsis:
What exactly are “pleasure gardens,” and why can’t you have sex in them? What’s so campy about camping at Versailles? Is Mother Nature a dominatrix? Join drag queen & landscape “snarkitect” Capability Pink as she romps her way through the development of Europe’s upper-class gardens, discovering exactly what it has to do with Philadelphia and the current climate emergency. Come get lost in the hedge maze of history — and burn your way out.
