LAND is pleased to announce the start of a multi-year engagement with Presqu’ile Winery (
@presquilewine ) resulting in artist residencies, temporary commissions, programming and activations.
Expanding our programmatic offerings to Santa Maria, CA, we look forward to bridging connections between Los Angeles and the Central Coast.
The first of these is a site-specific installation by Cole Sternberg (
@colesternberg ) titled “along the high embankments.” Sternberg was invited to respond to an empty concrete bunker located on the property of Presqu’ile Winery. The building has been unused by humans for years, yet quietly occupied by other species, nature slowly reclaiming it. Made in collaboration with the elements — soil, wind, sun, and water — the works reveal themselves over time. Just as the landscape is shaped by both natural and human interventions, the installation will continue to evolve, inviting us to consider our individual and collective environmental impact.
Save the date for an opening program on Sunday June 7, 2026 from 1-3PM, featuring family activities, music, and an exhibition walkthrough. More details forthcoming.
“along the high embankments” will be on view June 7-September 20, 2026. Learn more about the project at the link in our bio.
