Planting Paintings Plein-air Painting Session and Composting Ceremony
Ana Vogelfang & Julieta García Vazquez
Date: Saturday 8.06.2024
Time: 15:00-17:00
MOPI – in Spanish Museo Ocasional de un Paisaje Increíble (Occasional Museum of an Incredible Landscape) – is a spatial and narrative poetic tool devised by artist duo Ana Vogelfang and Julieta García Vazquez. In each iteration, MOPI explores a different territory and weaves together situated oral histories with local material productions. Existing only for a day, MOPI seeks to re-materialise a landscape collectively.
For Konteksty, Vogelfang and Garcia Vazquez will guide a collective plein-air painting session at Floating University where participants are invited to paint this natural-non-natural site on biodegradable paper and with natural earthen pigments. After the session and until sunset paintings will be arranged in a temporary exhibition. Later on, in a sort of composting ceremony, the paintings will be planted throughout the landscape, becoming a part of Floating’s narrative and material memory.
This event is supported by the Artists’ Contacts programme of the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (IfA).
This event is open for all and doesn’t require registration.
