"Tree Talks" is an ongoing project by artist Ben Kinsley focused on understanding trees from a multitude of perspectives, one species at a time. 

The inaugural series "Populus Tremuloides" focused on quaking aspen, the most widely distributed tree in North America. Once per season, from October 2021–August 2022, the public was invited to gather within a grove of quaking aspen at Kenosha Pass, Colorado to hear lectures by experts from diverse fields—ranging from ecologists to poets—who each shared their knowledge of the tree. The sounds of these gatherings were recorded using a variety of microphones to capture human voices, scientific information, poetic and metaphysical ideas, and the sounds of the aspen and other flora and fauna of the landscape. 

The full talks are provided here. 

"Tree Talks: Populus Tremuloides" was produced by Black Cube Nomadic Art Museum and culminated in the release of a limited edition lathe cut vinyl record and publication. The record is available for purchase via the Black Cube shop (link below).
