On May 21st, at the opening of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia, the Cyprus Pavilion hosted the latest project of Urban Gorillas “ASeedlingPlace” under their project: "Anachoreis: Upon Ihabiting Distances".

ASeedlingPlace is an open process in constant progress, where visitors are invited to participate by planting seeds, transfering cuttings, tending and growing new plants in a collective garden. The structure acts as a scaffolding, a facilitator for co-creation while also extending its physicality by providing seeds and inviting the visitors to plant elsewhere, expanding it in both space and time.

63 entries from professional artists from 17 European countries were submitted to the second “A-PLACE – Video Production Open Call”, in its 2021 edition. We would like to thank everyone who submitted a proposal for their interest and efforts.
