27 June 2013 — 1 August 2013

In this landmark exhibition, Oeno presents the work of 40 artists who shift our perspectives and experiences of the tree and our relationship to landscape.

Including gallery artists Ruth Abernethy, Kim Atlin, Floyd Elzinga, Juan Ezcurdia, Eileen Gordon, Shireen Kamran, Paula Murray, Christopher Langstroth, Anne O'Callaghan, John Paul Robinson, Sylvain Louis- Seize, Don Stinson, Alice Vander Vennen, Robin Wall, Carl Wiens, JT Winik and Robert Wiseman. We invite you to join us. Opening June 29th, 5pm- 8pm.
