In 1972 Gordon Matta-Clark installed Rosebush, a rosebush surrounded by a gridded wrought iron cage, at St Marks Church in-the-Bowery in the East Village. In 2024 the work was "reactivated" when the Swiss Institute helped plant a new rosebush and put up a plaque.
I wondered what it's been up to the last 50 or so years, because who knew?
