Helen Mayer Harrison and Newton Harrison at Various Small Fires on February 16, 2017. This husband and wife team embody perfectly the ideas of Rosalind Krauss and the practice and thoughts of Veronika Horlik. The Harrisons have collaborated with biologists, architects, engineers, and others to create a lot of their "social, political and ecological problem-solving" work. Pictured in this gallery is their piece, Composting in the Pentagon with Worms which has 2,000 worms in it that are composting waste into prime topsoil. Part of the significance of this piece in Krauss' eyes is that it is not only a minimalist sculpture that has architectural qualities to it, but it also encompasses nature and landscape qualities! Horlik would also appreciate this gallery and these artists because of all the different mediums being shown together as one.
