In a time when we are becoming increasingly devoid of natural environments, the ‘artificial oasis’ is now more prevalent in the landscape. Increasingly we see constructed spaces as a memento of ‘the outdoors’.

This group show investigates the close relationship between biological and social evolution. The artists seek to comprehend natural subject matter within artificial environments in order to create situations where natural ecologies are constructed within artificial settings and to highlight changing attitudes towards nature.

In no other site is this more apparent than the location of the exhibition, Farmopolis, the new floating garden and cultural space located on a disused coal jetty on the Greenwich Peninsula. Known as the ‘Floating Garden’ this constructed oasis is used to rehome plants from surplus locations, reflecting the artificial nature in which ‘the outdoors’ is constructed within urban environments today.
