An Installation in the Catacombs by Heidi Lau

May 7 – July 10, 2022Saturdays and Sundays11:00am-5:00pm

This installation has been extended through July 10th due to popular demand!

Heidi Lau became Green-Wood’s first-ever artist in residence in 2021 and her installation in the Catacombs is a culmination of a year-long exploration of the Cemetery. Her highly textured work in clay, draws on themes of genealogy, ritual, and the posthuman, with sources that include Taoist mythology, burial customs, and the built-environment of Macau (where she spent her formative years). Gardens as Cosmic Terrains is influenced by Lau’s research into the cosmological setting within Chinese gardens, where the arrangement of arches, pathways, and vistas acts as a metaphor for time, space, and matter—as well as a portal to access both memories and the spirit world.

The Catacombs are an approximately 15-20 minute walk from the Main Entrance. For directions, pick up a map at the Main Entrance, or access the map PDF here.

Free and open to the public, no reservations are necessary.

Please consider a donation to The Green-Wood Historic Fund so that we can continue to offer free and low-cost programs throughout the year.

Before our gates open to the general public, birding expert Rob Jett leads these peaceful early morning walking tours to discover the many birds that make Green-Wood their home—at least temporarily.

Walking Tour(see details below)

Early Spring Migration (April)

Our April tours will be a feast for the ears and eyes with the trilling song of pine warblers and drumming pronouncements of woodpeckers on newly blossoming trees (including magnolias, maples, quinces, and dogwoods). We’ll discover thousands of songbirds resting before their trip farther north as well as arriving herons and egrets at Green-Wood’s glacial ponds.

Peak Spring Migration (May to mid-June)

From ruby-throated hummingbirds to over twenty species of colorful wood warblers, our peak migration tours will feature many of the 163 bird species that have been recorded at Green-Wood during the month of May. Beginning just after sunrise, we will experience spring’s dawn chorus at the most active time of day for birds.

Summer Birding (Late June to August)

In July we should see the offspring of our resident red-tailed hawk bravely preparing to leave the nest. Warbler songs will be replaced by chirring cicadas and the tweets of fledgling birds. Butterflies and dragonflies are abundant. By late-July, expect the arrival of the first southbound migrants.

You’ll discover some of the Cemetery’s most stunning monuments and infamous permanent residents, including the ostentatious memorial to “The Soda Fountain King” John Matthews, the formerly unmarked grave of gang leader William Poole (better known as “Bill the Butcher”), and the true-crime-podcast-worthy tale of the murder of dentist Harvey Burdell in 1857. Your evening includes a peek into one of Green-Wood’s elaborate nineteenth-century mausoleums, normally closed to the public. Buy your tickets soon; these tours always sell out fast!

In these performances, violinist/violist and interdisciplinary performing artist eddy kwon (she/they) will present Four Rituals Toward an Infinite Perfect Resource, which uses interdisciplinary ceremony as an opening into queer ancestry, lineage, and family. kwon will present the 6:30pm performances on July 6th & 7th solo.

The 8pm performance on July 7th will be a collaboration with vocalist, composer, and performer Holland Andrews (they/them).

kwon’s performances explore transformation and transgression, ritual practices, and the use of mythology to connect, obscure, and reveal. kwon’s work as an improviser and composer-performer is inspired by Korean folk timbres and inflections, textures and movement from natural environments, and American experimentalism as shaped by the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians.
