Mystery and Sound in The Landscape
The Tree Museum established in 1997 and is an outdoor sculpture museum in Muskoka.
THIS YEAR ARTIST DEETER HASTENTEUFEL IS CARVING ONE OF THE massive erratic rocks on the site. Tracing the Mystery fuses two separate but related concepts. The carving of an erratic rock from the pre-Cambrian era (Canadian Shield) into an Olmec head (pre-Columbian civilization), and the concept of bridging the history of the land in Canada, to the history of an ancient civilization in Mexico.
The Sound of the Landscape, on September 28 and September 29 @ 2pm, is a performance by Yves Jarvis & Romy Lightman With this performance, Romy and Yves express their connection to both each other and the land at the Tree Museum (both parties have spent significant amount of time within) through the medium of traditional folk/country music and field recording
The art at the Tree Museum engages the complex reality of the relationship between humans and nature; adoration and exploitation. Collectively, the projects explore concepts of identity, memory and territory in respect to nature and natural processes, while underscoring the imbalance that characterizes our current relationship to the environment.

Background/History
The Tree Museum was established in 1997 and is a site set on the pre Cambrian shield amidst the cottage county-side of Muskoka. It is located on Ryde Lake near the town of Gravenhurst, Ontario. The site is undeveloped and includes both waterfront and forest. For the participating artists, this opportunity represents a rare occasion to realize major outdoor artworks in an uncultivated environment.
1998-2012, 80 artists, both National and International, have created unique projects relating to the site of the Tree Museum. These works engage the complex reality of the relationship between man and nature; adoration, reliance, and exploitation. Collectively, the projects explore concepts of identity, memory and territory in respect to nature and natural processes, while underscoring the imbalance that characterizes our current relationship to the environment.
