Visit Cole Sternberg's "along the high embankments" — a free, self-guided installation at Presqu'ile Winery in Santa Maria, CA.
Los Angeles Nomadic Division (LAND) presents Cole Sternberg’s along the high embankments, on view through September 20, 2026.
Reserve a one-hour time slot and explore at your own pace. The experience is self-guided — plan for about an hour to take in the work fully. Time slots are available Saturday and Sunday from 12-5PM.
For this project, Sternberg was invited to respond to an empty concrete bunker on the property of Presqu'ile Winery — unused by humans for years, yet quietly occupied by other species, nature slowly reclaiming it. Like the process of winemaking, his paintings emerge from an alchemical transformation.
Made in collaboration with the elements — soil, wind, sun, and water — they reveal themselves over time. The installation becomes a record of this place, this moment. Just as the landscape is shaped by both natural and human interventions, it will continue to evolve.
Make a day of it. Presqu'ile's tasting room is located on the same property, surrounded by working vineyards and stunning Santa Maria Valley views. Tasting room visits are separate from installation tickets and require a reservation via <a href="https://www.exploretock.com/presquilewinery/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Tock</a> — we recommend booking both to get the full experience.
This project marks the beginning of a multi-year partnership with Presqu'ile Winery, bringing artist residencies, temporary commissions, and ongoing programming to the property.
