Cultural Landscape Lecture by Marc Peter Keane: Karesansui – Japanese Stone Gardens Old and New
November 3, 2016 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Marc Peter Keane, internationally known garden designer and author, will describe the history and tradition of karesansui gardens, those enigmatic arrangements of stone and sand, exploring how they came into being and why they are designed the way they are. Keane will also discuss his own work designing contemporary karesansui gardens including the Spiral Garden built in Kyoto Prefecture’s oldest extant residence (a designated cultural property), the Tiger Glen Garden at the Johnson Museum of Art, and the recently completed courtyard garden in Manhattan called Thrust!
