"weaving the landscape" by Julia Lines Wilson at GALLERY Land Collective

GALLERY Land Collective is proud to present “weaving the landscape”, a solo exhibition by artist, MLA graduate, and 2025 Fall Fellow at the Institute for Public Architecture in New York City, Julia Lines Wilson. Using the methods and language of walking, weaving, photography, and video, Wilson creates temporal and spatial records that speak to the layered experiences possible in a place while posing questions on novel ecologies, adaptability, and resilience. "weaving the landscape" is opposite David A. Rubin's Antique Garden Tool Collection of implements spanning the 18th through the 20th centuries.

On view until December 19, this exhibition features a series of printed 35mm photographs, video clips, tapestry, and plant samples compiled during a month-long visit to the Petite Ceinture, a disused rail line/biodiverse corridor/temporal park/terrain vague in Paris, France. This work is a physical act that captures the intersections of place and time, and tells us stories about the places we come from and our layers of history on those sites. By creating and then combining flexible frameworks around weaving, walking and photography, Wilson investigates in-between places like the Petite Ceinture in order to better understand them and propose ways forward for designers and planners.
