At the Lub (Laboratorio Urban Center) of Spine Bianche in Matera, the public talk with the artist Andreco on the relationship between art and the environment. The residency concluded with the inauguration of the Green Room, open to the entire community.
This is an initiative included in the “Rizomatica. New forms of coexistence”, organized by the Matera Basilicata 2019 Foundation and curated by Imma Tralli and Roberto Pontecorvo of Marea Art Project.
Through a co-creation project led by the artist Andrea Conte, aka Andreco, in collaboration with Noi Ortadini APS, an installation was built in dialogue with the vegetation present, using the structures of the Open Design School of Matera 2019 used for sociality, aggregation and environmental education. This structure will make it possible to lengthen the times of stay and exchange between people and the ecosystem. The inhabitants of the neighborhood will be able to take an active part in the organization of the space through a collective action which also includes the planting of new trees and shrubs, with the aim of involving future users of the place in its creation and future maintenance. Furthermore, with this in mind, workshops will be organized for children and adults which aim to raise awareness of wild herbs and the potential they offer also from a creative point of view.
