1. River Cubes,by Bob Johnson. The artist gathered debris from local rivers and created sculptures of the garbage to display along side the river. The sculptures create powerful images to the viewer about how drastically society can alter the natural landscape.

2. Wheatfield – a Confrontation,by Agnes Denes. In 1982, Denes planted 2 acres of wheat on top of the Battery Park Landfill in Manhattan.
