For 2022, Jan Baker-Finch musters up Clocked Out and Co, who frock up in the Six Dresses of the Conscious Mind to present site-specific vignettes in the architecture and natural formations of Harrigans Lane. As the sun sets through the trees, a select group of pianists help to launch Erik Griswold’s haunting musical howl Wolf Moon in the Piano Mill. As the last notes ring out of the mill, a tractor reaches its tender claw into the tower to receive a sacrificial piano, which is then burnt to the ground, leaving us with the flickering forest projections of Renata Buziak and Greg Harm's Organic Rhythms.
