"Canutopia" Ming Fay at Grounds for Sculpture, Opens May 12

Ming Fay's exhibition "Canutopia" opens this Saturday, May 12th 2012 at Grounds for Sculpture in New Jersey.

Over the course of six weeks, Chinese-born artist Ming Fay has transformed the brand-new EAST GALLERY for its first-ever installation, by creating a site-specific botanical utopia unlike anything visitors to the park have every seen in GFS galleries.  Canutopia is Fay's vision for a perfect future in which mankind is harmoniously enfolded into the realm of nature, represented by an immense floating forest canopy, lush and teeming with fanciful forms of flora a fauna.  Bowers of oversized fruits and seeds, draped and arrayed throughout the East Gallery will be populated with colorful, animated forms and shapes, existing easily alongside tiny cavorting humans, horses, and other creatures.
