Ron Benner: Gardens of a Colonial Present

Part historical record, part interpretive examination, this monograph contains photographic documentation, previously published material and newly commissioned essays that explorer Ron Benner s garden works produced over the course of his lengthy career. Featuring essays by authors from diverse areas of expertise, notably genetics, cultural geography and social anthropology, this generously illustrated publication examines Benner s garden installations in relation to the central themes of activism, environmentalism and global politics that span the breadth of his practice.
