This reminds me, there is an artist named Conrad Bakker from Urbana who holds yard sales. You walk by his table and he is selling, o, I don't know, a deflated inflatable tube, a broken plate, an old stuffed toy.. But when you pick one up - they are replicas of the object that he has chisled out of wood. For what it is worth: www.untitledprojects.com

or there was the "American Lawn" exhibition -organized by the Canadian Centre for Architecture - that traveled internationally:

With a terrific accompanying book that includes essays like:
"The Saga of Grass: From the Heavenly Carpet to Fallow Fields," "Professional Pastoralism : The Writing on the Lawn," "Fairway Living: Lawncare and Lifestyle from Croquet to Golf Course" and "The Electric Lawn" by Mark Wigley.
