Maison Millefleurs in Robert F. Wagner Jr. Park (20 Battery Place)


Join us for the culminating event of Rhonda Weppler & Trevor Mahovsky’s outdoor installation, Maison Millefleurs, on September 21, 7-9 pm.

The public will be invited to participate in a paper flower-making workshop and select an assortment of reusable, LED-lit handmade flowers directly from the installation to keep, giving Maison Millefleurs new life as its flowers are dispersed throughout the city. Please note: Quantities are limited. The giveaway will continue while supplies last.


Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky, based in New York and Toronto respectively, have worked collaboratively since 2004. Their work has increasingly incorporated communal aspects of craft, such as DIY tutorial videos, and virtual crafting bees. Their video project Crafts Abyss was hosted by the Museum of Arts & Design (NYC, 2021). Other recent activities include the Odette Sculpture Residency at York University (Toronto, 2022), a major temporary outdoor work for OpenArt (Orebro, Sweden, 2022), as well as solo exhibitions at Susan Hobbs Gallery (Toronto, 2023), The Arts Center at Governors Island (NYC, 2023), Owens Art Gallery (Sackville, 2024), and the Esker Foundation (Calgary, 2024). Their work is represented in public collections including the Musee d’art Contemporain de Montreal, Vancouver Art Gallery, and the National Gallery of Canada.

This project is presented in partnership with Battery Park City Authority.
