The Portable Forest are potted plants that can travel for shows, events and
happenings inside and outside. Typically they are shown interacting with the space they are in or traveling
metaphorically if not physically.
The San Diego Museum of Art for their Summer Salon Series posed the question "What does a city need?" to Los Angeles artist Lara Bank. On Thursday, July 14, 2011 she responded with a copse of moveable foliage dubbed "The Portable Forest." Visitors to the rotunda between 6:00-9:00p.m. wandered amongst evergreen trees on wheels and donned wearable foliage accessories tailored for distinct environments. Assistants in ghillie suits helped participants dress in wearable foliage accessories. 4,000 participants came through the exhibition that evening.
Ghillie suit wearers: Amy Blount Lay, Chris Candelaria, & Marcos Siref. Photos by Chris Colthart.
