Fifth-year landscape architecture students will unveil two new, large-scale art installations from 1–2:30 p.m. Sunday, May 18, at Art Farm Iowa, located at 4953 Olive Ave. in Northwood, Iowa. 

The students developed the concept for one site-specific sculpture, titled “The Crib,” in the “Rural Art. Rural Space” studio class last fall. This spring, seven students from that course enrolled in an independent study to fabricate and install the artwork. Both courses, led by landscape architecture assistant professor Hans Klein-Hewett, explore the intersection of art, rural environments and community storytelling. 

Fifth-year student and multidisciplinary artist Gonzalo Espinoza, from Houston, will also reveal his solo project, “Cornnectivity,” on May 18. The seven-foot, 3D-printed sculpture, inspired by the interconnection of agriculture and technology, serves as both a tribute to natural creation and a bold reimagining of landscapes through design.
