In Canada is deze zomer de 11e editie van het International Garden Festival in Sainte-Flavie (Québec) te bezoeken. Van 26 juni tot 3 oktober 2010 zijn in een park 21 uiteenlopende modeltuinen ingericht, waaronder de Jardin de la Conaissance (Garden of Knowledge), een ‘library garden and art installation made of 40,000 books’.

Kunstenaars Rodney LaTourelle en Thilo Folkerts aan het woord:

“exposing these fragile and supposedly timeless cultural artifacts  to the processes of decomposition… The garden becomes a sensual reading room; a library; an information platform; an invitation to a provocatively foreign realm of knowledge.”
