Revival Field, 1990

Mel Chin: Revival Field

Revival Field originated as an environmental sculptural installation
in 1991 at Pig's Eye Landfill in St. Paul, MN. It confirmed that certain
plants can clean contaminated soil by absorbing heavy metal pollutants.
Chin will create a new installation of the sculpture in Stuttgart, Germany.
He has negotiated for the release of super-accumulating seeds to be sent
to an agronomist in Germany and has garnered the support of both private
industry and the U.S. Department of Agriculture in this transfer. Later
he will work with German publishers on an artist-designed science book
that details and documents for the first time the process and benefits
of Revival Field. The project is an example of artwork that serves as
the foundation for beneficial science.
