Fabulandia is a two-part exhibition that speculates on the world of
the future. A fantastical place, filled with new strains of plants
and odd creatures that inhabit a mysterious landscape barely
recognizable as planet Earth. The first in the Fabulandia series,
Terra, presents the work of six artists envisioning this futuristic
environment-an overloaded world that meshes the natural with the
artificial in a landscape filled with sleek urban-scapes,
extraordinary gardens and terrains of the impossible. Rather like an
analog vision of a digital future, the exhibition ranges from
carefully rendered works on paper depicting futuristic plants and
structures to post-apocalyptic landscapes made from plumbing supplies
and motorized shrubbery. Welcome to a place called Fabulandia, where
low-tech and high-tech collide in a hybridized vision of the future.

Fauna opens in January 2006 with a look at the drastically altered
creatures that populate the terrain of Fabulandia.
