MORE ABOUT FRITZ HAEG:
Fritz Haeg works between his architecture and design practice Fritz Haeg Studio, the happenings and gatherings of Sundown Schoolhouse, the ecology initiatives of Gardenlab (including Edible Estates), and his role as an educator. He received his B.A. of Architecture from Carnegie Mellon University and has taught in architecture, design, and fine arts programs at CalArts, Art Center College of Design, Parsons, and the University of Southern California. He has produced projects and exhibited work at the Tate Modern, London; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, among other institutions.
- His new series of projects called Animal Estates will debut at the Whitney Biennial in March 2008. His first book, Edible Estates: Attack on the Front Lawn, is published by Metropolis Books and distributed by D.A.P. It’s been praised by Bill McKibben and other environmentalists, with Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation calling Haeg’s proposal a “wonderfully subversive plan. Instead of mowing your lawn, you should eat it.”
- His previous Edible Estates projects can be viewed in Salina, KS; Lakewood, CA; Maplewood, NJ and London.
