It is on view here in NYC at 1540 Broadway near Times Square. In words and images Denes tells the story of her iconic Land art piece “Wheatfield: A Confrontation” (through May 10), and “Tree Mountain: A Living Time Capsule,” (through May 20). A questionnaire about the future of humanity will be on view through May 31. The answers will be buried in a time capsule to be opened in 1,000 years.
