"Caretaking is where the word 'curating' comes from. Curare means to take care--to care for something outside one's self." German artist Andrea Büttner, Walker Artistic Director Fionn Meade, and Walker Lead Technician Peter Hannah discuss the meaning, maintenance, and cultivation of a delicate moss garden within the galleries of Andrea Büttner, the artist's first US solo exhibition.
