"Being what it is. Modelling Ecosistems" proposes a new way of naming nature in Chinese translation. This concept stems from the awareness that the word "nature" has distanced us from it, and therefore wants to incorporate the human perspective into it. The exhibition presents three works by local artist Anna Pasco Bolta that look at how humanity creates models to understand reality and the changing environment.
Farm rules are an example of how humanity has created rules for generations to understand and perhaps predict natural phenomena. The interactive work ZENZ(A)I is an artificial intelligence that creates new proverbs from man-made farming rules, the current weather and the mood analysis of Twitter messages. So every visitor can have a farmer's rule created in the exhibition.
The work "Models for a Blessing", on the other hand, presents unique ceramic works in a variety of colours made with different earths. These objects inhabit the exhibition space and mimic a degree of life to illustrate how these models serve to structure movement.
Finally, the photo series "Nature and Circumstance" looks at the construction of nature through the colouring of an originally white rose by cutting off the stem and colouring the water. This work asks the viewer what role we play as co-creators:in of environments.
The public vernissage will take place on 20.04. from 19 to 21:00.
