A notable inventor of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, he sought to increase soil fertility and water use by regenerating bushland,\u00a0creatively adapting farmlands and \u2013 in perhaps his most important breakthrough \u2013 developing a new understanding of water flows and tools\u00a0for soil cultivation.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>For Ian Milliss and Lucas Ihlein,\u00a0The Yeomans Project\u00a0presents an opportunity to look at art as an entirely utilitarian enterprise \u2013 one that\u00a0proposes new, creative and sustainable ways of working with the land. They have collected together writings, images, documentary films\u00a0and educational videos and will host a series of conversations in the exhibition to illustrate Yeomans\u2019 philosophy and design innovations.\u00a0They have also invited other artists \u2013 Milkwood Permaculture, Taranaki Farm, Artist As Family, (f)route and Diego Bonetto \u2013 to challenge\u00a0our assumptions of art by relocating us to farms, masterclasses on permaculture, and alternative market places for selling and buying food.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2026is a fascinating show by artists Ian Milliss and Lucas Ihlein\u00a0about the innovative Australian farmer\/inventor which I was so happy to stumble upon in the lower level project\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[247],"tags":[1757,684,1637,1640,1641,1792,1639],"class_list":["post-11698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-agriculture","tag-agriculture","tag-art","tag-australia","tag-ian-milliss","tag-lucas-ihlein","tag-sydney","tag-the-yoemans-project"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11698"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11698\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11701,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11698\/revisions\/11701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fritzhaeg.com\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
