Utē Petit’s work “Mississippi Woman, Louisiana Man” will be featured as part of Sky High Farm’s inaugural biennial, “Trees Never End And Houses Never End” starting June 28th.

“Trees Never End And Houses Never End” is a site-specific exhibition exploring the relationship between local ecology, history, and industry in the Hudson River Valley and its connection to New York City. On view from June 28 through October 2025 in a historic apple cold storage warehouse along the Hudson River in Germantown, NY, the exhibition marks the beginning of a new chapter for Sky High Farm as they expand onto a new 560-acre farm.

Alongside Petit, the biennial brings together more than 50 artists from around the world, including Anne Imhof, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Tschabalala Self, Rudolf Stingel, Ben Wigfall and Communications Village, and Rirkrit Tiravanija to explore themes close to Sky High Farm’s work at the intersection of climate, agriculture, food access and education. 

Sky High Farm’s inaugural biennial, “Trees Never End And Houses Never End”, featuring Utē Petit’s “Mississippi Woman, Louisiana Man”  will be open to the public starting June 28th, at 11 Main Street, Germantown, New York, with an opening reception from 11 AM to 7 PM.

Utē Petit (b. 1995, Southfield, Michigan) is a New Orleans-based artist whose work explores Black-Indigenous land-based traditions and the creation of ‘Ailanthaland,’ a free Black nation of heavenly beings conceptualized using charcoal and graphite drawings, quilts, installations, farming, and cooking. Petit specializes in textile practices, incorporating woven, quilted, and hand-printed fabrics, along with drawing, painting, and collage.

#InTheStudio with 2025 Artist-in-Residence Utē Petit: “In the United States, we don’t live in a place where there’s a lot of publicly accessible art and visual manifestations of our culture. I think it would be amazing to see more sculptures of our people—being able to feel that reverence, having permission to stop and just be reflective or remember, mourn, grieve, celebrate.”

Utē Petit (@swampbender) is an artist based in New Orleans, and was a Spring 2025 Artist-in-Residence at the Joan Mitchell Center. This interview was filmed at the Joan Mitchell Center in April 2025. Learn more about Petit’s work at joanmitchellfoundation.org/ute-petit.

We finished building the structures for our 9ft tall mounds. A rough estimate of the height of the flood waters on this block, when a barge was negligently, purposefully left untethered and destroyed and/or detonated the levee just blocks from my people’s house. Each one is 25ft wide, the width of a standard New Orleans shotgun lot. They point us in the four directions, we acknowledge the waters as she has created the land we stand on, as she surrounds us on all sides. Swamp to bayou, bayou to river, river to lake, lake to sea; salty, fresh and between. Now we are preparing to fill in with soil, and then comes PLANTING!!! Our plants graciously holding our earth in place, we owe them everything. Fruit and nut trees, persimmons and pecans, jujubes and olives, longan and pomegranates, avocados, cherries, lychee, pears, rows and rows and rows of flowers. Can you see it yet? 💐 Bird towers and buzzing bees, a temple enshrining giant sculptures of deities and spirits; adorned to its highest point, maybe a kiln? Dare I say a playground? Someway to collect the rain. Someplace to store tools and the fruits of our labor. A monumental archway painted in fresco or adorned with tiles. Flags billowing everywhere, rustling of palms and whipping of nylon on our otherwise quiet block. Giant trellises covered in Katrina roses and muscadine grapes: bronze and purple of course. Can you taste it yet!? Incense is burning, offerings are laid, libations provided. The air smells.. sweet. Babies got fruit juice all over they faces. They Jubilant! A place to sit, a place to eat, a place to pray, a place to grieve. Bring a bag and carry some home. thank you @kali_adriana for your documenting so beautifully for us. Away we go 🚀🌴

It’s a real (mentally unwell 🤧) bitch’s birthday today. Being 28 sucked, we def got some major wins , but damn did we have trials and tribulations, backstabbing, transgressions, bullshit. 3.5/10 wouldn’t do it again.About to leave the country for 3 months, holla at me if you wanna see me before I go 💋 you got till Sunday night. Give me drama, don’t just buy me a drink, pay my dowry, bestow your family herd of goats upon me in protest of my departure (I will still leave). lay pearls at my feet as you weep. Throw garlands of marigolds at my head in attempt to anoint me with ethereal and seasonal offerings. Feed me edible arrangements and overripe tropical fruits while I lay contraposto draped in silk. Ciao

In honor of the children of Palestine, the trees that witness generations grow, and also bear scars, they hold the stories of nazi aggression. Drop their leaves in protest. their fruits sour and stunted with pain. May they cover you from falling bombs, may their trunks catch the shrapnel aimed for your delicate bodies, may you still find sweetness after it all.

Built this temple/altar of self defense & armed resistance in our show Rivulet at Antenna gallery in New Orleans. May those who dare to resist the violence of empire be covered and protected. In all lands currently experiencing the true intent of western imperialism. Building this I couldn’t stop thinking of the sadistic mischaracterization of Palestinian men in particular. May we all emerge victorious, land back, colonizers/zios/cowards/rapists/nazis/fascists go home, be removed, or be killed trying, whichever comes first.
.
Together we raised just under 500 that will go toward mutual aid efforts in Deir Al-Balah for water and local farms to be able to continue provide food, and in Cairo supporting folks who’ve managed to escape the genocide in GZA. Prints will be sent by this coming Tuesday at the latest.
.
Show is up till August 10.

You’re looking at land that has officially been rematriated back into my family!!!! LAND BACK HEAUX!!!!!! Land that at least 4 generations of the Petit family has lived, and set foot on. Sandwiched between Juneteenth and the summer solstice I officially closed on these lots, auspicious timing 🤲🏾. Successfully blocking an international non profit from trying to steal this land from me! 🔫🔫There are literally hundreds if not thousands of you to thank, (too many of you to fit here) for financial support, prayer, words of encouragement, strategizing, LABOR*** when we were trying to build these fuckers by hand (delusional!!). I do hope you know I don’t take it for granted. I am scheming gifts to offer yall in the future, please allow me time to devise something with the love you’ve shown me for the last 5 years. We will finish the structures of the mounds this month and begin filling with soil. And the first planting will be this fall, just in time to enjoy flowers in the spring. Lookout for a workday and picnic/fiesta likely in November. Then we will build the most beautiful temple that ever stood in Louisiana, filled with art and sculptures, offerings, libation, and gratitude, and spirit and love.

Thank you thank you thank you. It’s been a rough 5 years; and we did it together.

I’d like to particularly shoutout @sproutnola @skyhighfarmhudsonvalley @braidingseedsfellowship @soulfirefarm @blackfoodjustice @yougot2burn2shine and the Persimmon Collective who helped me reach the insane, and impossible funding gap to get this land back from the city. And yet here we are. Spirit will carve a way, i am a bitch that will find a way, I don’t accept no. We set the intention in motion, and are enjoying only the first fruits off our tree. More to come, can’t wait to celebrate with yall soon.
