SUMMARY:Plucked From Earth To Bloom
DESCRIPTION:Join 24-25 Artist-in-Residence Markel Uriu for a special one-day only exhibit of her original artwork\, Plucked From Earth to Bloom.  \nPlucked From Earth to Bloom is a portrait of Mount Auburn that explores the Cemetery’s history and ecology through images of the physical landscape. The artwork is a large two-dimensional paper-weaving created from images sourced from Mount Auburn’s Historical Collections & Archives\, satellite imagery\, and photographs taken by the artist over the course of a year. The images were compiled and woven together to create an abstract map of the space that seeks to obscure and highlight various aspects of the Cemetery.  \nThe paper-weaving explores the ways in which time is compressed in the physical world\, and highlights the way plants\, materials\, objects\, human and nonhuman beings hold contexts that reveal deeper truths about the history of the Cemetery.  \nThe artwork will be displayed in the contemporary glass wing of Bigelow Chapel. There will be a Q&A with the artist and Public Events Producer\, Julie-Anne Whitney\, at 1:00pm. Light snacks and drinks will be provided.  \nRegistration is not required for this event. If you reserve a free ticket then that will help us gauge the interest in the event.  \n…  \nMarkel Uriu is a 24-25 Artist in Residence at Mount Auburn Cemetery. She is an interdisciplinary artist based in Cambridge\, MA earning her master’s in landscape architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design (2025). Her work explores impermanence\, maintenance\, and the unseen. Drawing from her Japanese and Irish-American heritage\, she is particularly interested in liminal spaces\, and explores these concepts through research\, ephemeral botanical narratives\, installations\, and two-dimensional work. Her current work investigates the ways we view ourselves in relationship to other humans\, species\, and ecosystems and how it manifests in our landscapes. Markel is the recipient of various awards and residencies\, including the Penny White Project Fund at Harvard Graduate School of Design\, Cambridge\, MA\, the 4Culture Amazon Artist in Residence\, Seattle\, WA and the 4Culture Artist Grant\, Seattle\, WA.

SUMMARY:Sensing Mount Auburn
DESCRIPTION:The human body is remarkable in its ability to perceive the environment through a wide spectrum of senses. Smell\, touch\, and taste often have the strongest connections to memories\, yet we almost exclusively document the environment through visual means. The power of these senses lies in their ability to evoke emotions and recollections\, creating a deeper and more intimate connection with our surroundings. By engaging our full sensory palette\, we unlock a richer\, more immersive understanding of the world around us.  \nJoin Adam Molinski and Yufan Gao\, 2024-2025 Artists-in-Residence and landscape architecture faculty at the Boston Architectural College\, for a guided\, meditative walk that uses a series of devices and exercises to intentionally defocus participants’ familiar ways of seeing the landscape\, bringing attention to more than just the visual aspects of the landscape experience.  \nTo trace their experiences\, feelings\, conscious and subconscious thoughts\, participants will leave marks of abstract drawings and words. Collectively\, over the course of the next year\, these drawings and words will form a multi-sensory\, temporal map of Mount Auburn.  \nREGISTER HERE>>\nCheck-in at Story Chapel \nCapacity: 10 people per walk \n1pm & 4pm Walks \n… \nExperience a deeper connection to Mount Auburn Cemetery with free or discounted access to all our public programs and special events by joining the Friends of Mount Auburn. Our robust roster of programs each year is made possible by the generous support of our donors and in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council. \nFor inquiries about accessibility\, to request an accommodation\, or if you have any questions about your membership\, please contact friends@mountauburn.org.

SUMMARY:Sensing Mount Auburn: A Landscape in Motion
DESCRIPTION:Mount Auburn Cemetery is not a static repository of memory but a living\, evolving landscape shaped by movement\, perception\, and time. Sensing Mount Auburn: A Landscape in Motion presents the work of 24-25 Artists-in-Residence\, Yufan Gao and Adam Molinski\, in dialogue with a design studio they led at the Boston Architectural College. The work reimagines Mount Auburn through sensory engagement and experimental design methodologies.  \nOver the course of their residency\, Gao and Molinski conducted meditative walks across the seasons\, using devices and exercises created to disrupt habitual ways of seeing. These walks activated a multisensory awareness of the landscape\, revealing how scent\, touch\, and sound can evoke memory and deepen spatial perception.  \nThis exhibition will showcase the data collected from the Sensing Mount Auburn walks including abstract drawings\, written impressions\, and marks left by participants. It will also display BAC student works that investigate Mount Auburn’s literary\, planar\, and sectional layers through archival collage\, binaural film\, motion mapping\, and sectional analysis.   \nSensing Mount Auburn: A Landscape in Motion transforms Bigelow Chapel into a multi-sensory abstracted experience of the cemetery\, offering a dynamic understanding of the landscape. By reconsidering Mount Auburn as both a space of passage and a space of pause\, this exhibition asks: How do our memories inscribe themselves into space? What new rituals emerge when we experience landscape as an active\, participatory medium rather than a static backdrop?  \nBigelow Chapel \nFree to all; No registration required\n
