A three-part musical score for the lawn adjacent to the Walker Art Center: Featuring amplified sheep, thirty community choreographed push mowers, and gasoline-powered ride-on-mowers with oscillators tuned to the drone of their engines. Mower enthusiasts, art lovers, and community members brought their mowers to the museum and mowed the lawn with an austere sonic seriousness paired with the vibe of a state fair.
