Exhibition "Then, sprouting between science and art"
From October 4 to 31. Can Domènech, Alcúdia.
The exhibition "Lavors, sprouting between science and art" is moving, these days it has been located at the Caixa Forum in Palma, and will travel to Can Domènech, Alcúdia (Carrer dels Albellons, 7). The inauguration will take place Friday, October 4 at 6:30 p.m.
The exhibition consists of three artistic proposals that invite visitors to listen, take a closer look, manipulate and reflect on the seeds.
- Marco Ranieri's mobile seed bank.
- Sound seeds by Javier Forment.
- The dance of the seeds. The germination of the knowledge of the Association of Local Varieties of Mallorca.
These three artistic proposals were winners of the call for art and science collaboration launched at the initiative of researcher Raquel Ajates, as part of the research on sustainable seed systems. The call was an initiative funded by the project El repte de la Digitalización de Llavors -awarded with the Daniel Carasso Fellowship- and the UNED, in collaboration with the Earth Museum of the Carulla Foundation and the Xarxa Planea.
After passing through Madrid and Catalonia, the interactive installation has been for fifteen days at the CaixaForum in Palma thanks to the support of the Fundació la Caixa, it arrives in the northern area of Mallorca, with the impetus and local curation by the Association of Local Varieties and thanks to the support of Alcúdia City Council. Visitors will be able to explore the beauty, cycles and challenges of seeds through artistic and scientific proposals that invite reflection and action to conserve them.
At the end of the event, one will be served soft drink with products of local varieties.
