Urban Commons is a cross-disciplinary Melbourne design studio committed to reviving the spirit of the commons – areas of public land for use by the community – in urban spaces. Foodscape will turn NGV International’s sculpture garden into a creative and edible landscape. Visitors can learn about edible weeds, wander through the ‘wayward’ native food forest and participate in growing a productive garden. Featuring product, exhibition and landscape design by Justin Hutchinson and Shawn Ashkanasy (Urban Commons); horticulture design by Alistair Kirkpatrick; and program assistance from Linda Cheng and Bonnie Grant.
