'First the egg or the chicken?', is an art event dedicated to urban agroforestry methods in dialogue with creativity. The organizations at the new space ‘Viafarini Work’ (Soulfood Forestfarms; Terzo Paesaggio; Phoebe Zeitgeist; Open Studio TreTre) on the occasion of MIART (Milano Art Fair) present a series of artistic and performative interventions dedicated to the symbolism of the egg. The artists will activate a series of installations and actions, unusual recipes, collaborative interventions on the territory, aimed at sharing knowledge and active participation of the public. A special installation by Atelier del Paesaggio/GREEN ISLAND, entitled 'AGRESTE', will cover the walls of the 'Garage' space.

STAY TOONED!

It is well known that nature needs pollinators every day. Flowers, fruits and vegetables would not exist without the painstaking work of these useful insects. GREEN ISLAND, with the international program ALVEARI URBANI/Urban BeeHives deals with these issues through the encounter of languages: art, design, music, agriculture, botany, sociality. To better communicate these fundamental messages, we are creating a special platform, in collaboration with University of Milano Bicocca.

 

BEE THE CHANGE!

ALVEARI URBANI/Urban BeeHives organizes for this winter a training course dedicated to the urban beekeeping and botany for pollinators, open to all citizens, to young people and women, starting January 2022. The program is in collaboration with Parco Cascina Merlata Milano.

BEE THE CHANGE!

ALVEARI URBANI/Urban BeeHives project, started in Milan in 2014, has created the first Artist's Beehive in Europe, with beehives created by artists and designers from all over the world. The project is dedicated to the valorization of biodiversity, to recover abandoned green areas, to the awareness of the pollinators’ relevance, to the sharing of knowledge and sociality.

The project 'THE MOBILE HERBARIUM’ proposes artworks by international artists on the theme of herbariums and vegetation in motion. All the works, created specifically for the occasion, built the idea of ‘herbarium’ as fragile although relevant art work to be collected. 'This vegetation is free to across borders with spores and seeds; is narrated through images and drawings by international artists; is an unprecedented puzzle of botanical, naturalistic and creative forms', says curator Claudia Zanfi.

New works by international artists on the theme of 'Art and Nature', vegetation in motion, herbarium in voyage.

The project, conceived for the Sociology Fest of Modena, is configured as a real journey, a path for images that will be articulated in three Italian cities (Milan, Mantua, Modena), ending in an exhibition at the Botanical Garden of Modena. The aim is to promote the concept of beauty and slow mobility (traveling by train), combining cultural subjects and practices, projections and public exhibitions, to raise awareness of urgent issues such as art, society, landscape.
