SUMMARY:Outdoor Installation: Maison Millefleurs
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 2025 River To River festival\, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) is pleased to announce Maison Millefleurs\, an outdoor installation by artist duo Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky on view from August 2 to September 21at Robert F. Wagner Park\, Battery Park City. \nBased on the format of a community garden\, the installation is a jewel box of a greenhouse filled with an overgrown garden of life-sized paper flowers\, each illuminated by programmed LED lights. Inspired by traditional floral still life paintings depicting flowers that bloom in various parts of the world in different seasons\, the installation presents the dream-like coming together of its creators\, who worked on this project at different times and in different spaces\, in the form of a single tangled garden. The flowers of Maison Millefleurs were made by many hands\, including those of the artists and of the public\, during the House of a Thousand Flowers workshop series hosted by LMCC as part of the 2025 River To River Festival. \nMaison Millefleurs builds on the duo’s practice of bringing sculptural still life into being through communal craftmaking. As a sculpture made of ephemeral materials such as paper\, which is dispersed at its conclusion\,  Maison Millefleurs dramatizes the process of its own coming into and out of existence. \n\n\n“Maison Millefleurs sits as an eccentric presence at the edge of Manhattan’s towers. Built by the labour of strangers\, it is a florid dream of something beautiful that is shared\, if only briefly. We are so grateful for the incredible support of Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (LMCC) and Battery Park City Authority\, who made such an extended\, community-based project possible ” – Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky\n\n\nThe installation will conclude with a Paper Flower Giveaway & Workshop on Saturday\, September 21\, 7-9pm. At this culminating event\, the public will be invited to participate in a paper flower-making workshop and select\, directly from the installation\, an assortment of reusable\, LED-lit handmade flowers to keep\, giving Maison Millefleurs new life as its flowers are dispersed throughout the city.
