ASeedlingPlace in Venice
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.
Open Call 2021: Winners announced
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.
