"MEDINA, N.Y. — It was artist Mary Mattingly, known for her large-scale, often livable floating structures that address climate change in the form of rising water, who first told me about the Medina Triennial about a year ago. Knowing that Mattingly was launching her Floating Garden (2026), a new, permanent iteration of Swale, a publicly accessible edible garden she first launched on New York City’s East River in 2016, was enough to get me to Medina. But having attended the opening weekend of the Venice Biennale the month before, I was wary of traveling to see art at a time when so much of the world is in crisis."
