On Curation, Care, and Andrea Büttner’s Moss Garden

“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.
