FREE ADMISSION

TREES NEVER END AND HOUSES NEVER END is a site-specific exhibition exploring the relationship between local ecology, history, and industry in the Hudson River Valley and its connection to New York City. It raises questions of legacy and impact — from tectonic shifts to colonialism — and asks: What do we carry with us and what do we leave behind? Rooted in Sky High Farm’s community-centered mission to address interconnected issues such as nutrition security and systemic injustice, the exhibition demonstrates what’s possible when art, agriculture, and activism function as one — uniting the culture-shifting work of artists and the impact of a justice-driven organization.

The biennial brings together more than 50 artists from around the world. Some artworks engage directly with the existing environment — among them, Anne Imhof’s industrial water containers reference the banks of the Hudson River, evoking tension between industrial control and natural resources; Brian Jungen’s melted aluminum sculpture, forged from the wildfire that burned down his farm and studio; and Mark Armijo McKnight’s sundials installed on the farm’s new land.

The biennial introduces an artist-led fundraising model that avoids traditional auctions and their vulnerabilities. This approach prioritizes flexibility, recognizing each artist’s circumstance is different, and that everyone benefits when artists define the terms themselves, including how they choose to donate a portion of their proceeds to the farm. These crucial funds will allow the farm to expand its work of cultivating and distributing nutrient-rich foods, offering educational programs on agriculture and climate action, and grants to catalyze and sustain food justice around the US and globally.
