Description
Gallery 16 Editions and the Expanding Color System are pleased to announce the release of the fourth book in the 1 Artist 1 Concept series, Amy Franceschini: Victory Gardens 2007+. The book, which chronicles Amy's inspiring re-imagining of the original wartime gardening program, features essays by Lucy Lippard and Mike Davis.Franceschini's Victory Gardens 2007+ was presented as a series of actions, sculptural icons and ephemera during the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art SECA Award show on January 26, 2007. The project was initially presented as a utopian proposal for the city of San Francisco - a small pilot designed to evolve into a larger plan for a city supported food system. The goal was to create a community of food producers through public outreach and education. Amy's project derives its title from, and builds on the the rich history and successful nationwide Victory Garden programs of WWI and WWII.
