An artist's Residency 2005 Chiayi Art Festival on the Tropic of Cancer, Chiayi County, Taiwan, June 22 - July 7, 2005
The Museum of Seasonal Change is a concept originated by the six members of the Landmark Art Collaborative (1983-1989), of San Diego, California: three landscape architects (Gary Stone, David Reed and Ron Wigginton) and three environmental sculptors (Joyce Cutler-Shaw, Suvan Geer and Connie Zehr), under the sponsorship of Landmark Art Projects, based in San Diego, a non-profit tax exempt corporation (1980-1990) dedicated to the integration of art and the environment. It was conceived as a three acre, tree forest environment grid of continuous red earth walkways between indigenous and deciduous self-watering trees in cone-shaped wells, with a central Arena, 55 feet square for performances and changing installations by artists. It received a 1985-1987 Design Development Grant from the United States National Endowments for the Arts.
The Museum of Seasonal Change proposed for Taiwan is as much a public art park environment as it is an illuminating educational site with potential as a promenade, performance and sculptural space. It brings to the public attention the importance of trees and native tree based installations and issues of the environment central to the ecological health of Taiwan.
