Dwelling: Memory, Architecture, and Place, the fourth outdoor sculpture exhibition organized by the Forest Hills Educational Trust at historic Forest Hills Cemetery, opens on Saturday, June 24 from 3:00pm to 6:00pm with a festive public reception.

The afternoon features performances from The Water Project, a powerful blend of ritual, myth, visual art and dance created by Michael Dowling (artist and director of Medicine Wheel) and Christine Bennett (artistic director of Christine Bennett Dance Co.) and a guided tour of the exhibition with scholar Elise Ciregna.

Opened in 1848, Forest Hills Cemetery's grand romantic landscape was designed to bring together the living and the dead, the past and the present, the familiar and the unknown. In this contemporary sculpture exhibition, fifteen artists reinterpret the Victorian concept of the cemetery as a final home and a place for lingering reflection.

Directions
One block from Forest Hills T station, Orange Line, via Tower Street shortcut. Free parking.
