Glass Forest was a collaborative work created by resident Agustina Woodgate and our former building curator Ian Montgomery.
Check out the many projects made for the Glass Forest since it was created in 2009 (many more to be added as we transfer the archive from our old website).
Ian Montgomery (Gravelville, Iowa) is an artist and builder with professional construction, carpentry, and installation experience. He joined Elsewhere in 2009 to oversee the preservation and safety of Elsewhere’s building and collection, and works directly with artists on installation and sculpture to ensure structural integrity and visitor safety. Ian previously worked in a similar capacity for Flux Factory in New York and has a BA from Bard College.

Agustina Woodgate (1981, Argentina) is an artist whose practice focuses on the politics of landscapes and infrastructures as a conceptual and public geography. She recombines, activates and repurposes available resources while setting alternative systems in motion. Her work comes about through a logical process of discovery rather than invention, utilizing displacement as a strategy. Woodgates’ approach is speculative, practical, and site and context-responsive, presenting critical alternatives to concepts on social orders, resource management and information distribution bringing clarity, scale, and accessibility.
Agustina is one of the artists commissioned for South Elm Projects. She completed Hopscotch across the South Elm neighborhood during her one-week residency in April 2015.
