Artist Corin Hewitt is moving into the Whitney Museum of American Art...sort of. Visitors will be able to see him working on his project Seed Stage, where he has created an environment that is part kitchen, part office, part garage, and part garden, reports the New York Times.

Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in the small gallery just off the Whitney’s lobby, Hewitt will blend performance and installation art with photography by constructing objects, composing still lifes, and taking photographs of his creations. The resulting photos will be framed and presented on the gallery walls surrounding Hewitt's environment.

Hewitt has brought everything from a hot plate, freezer, and microwave oven to a paper shredder, pressure cooker, camera, and water-filtration system for this work. He also included a custom-built worm composting system, a crawl space, trapdoors, and a root cellar filled with vegetables that he grew this year in Vermont, where he spends his summers.

Tina Kukielski, a senior curatorial assistant at the Whitney who organized the project said, “It’s an examination of the cycles of transformation and transience,” and noted that there would be about 70 photographs hanging on the walls by the time it is completed.
