HORTUS 2.0 art exhibition, Avignon
A unique look at horticulture and technological transformations
EDIS, backing new media art since 2012, has put together an ambitious exhibit displayed in several sites in historical city centre of Avignon. The heart of the exhibit beats at the Louis Vouland museum and radiates in two other venues, Saint Charles chapel, Angladon museum, plus a performance at the Collection Lambert.
Gardens, their myriad marvels and artistic metamorphoses compose the subtle thread seamlessly running through the events and venues.
The exhibit is an original sensory experience highlighting some thirty works by celebrated national and international artists. Certain works are being created specifically for the places they will be seen. Digital herbiers, virtual plants, fragrant vegetation and 3-D green sculptures, sound-filled gardens and tactile plants weave a creation where metaphors and artistic transfigurations come to life.
Hortus 2.0 invites audiences to better understand their own perceptions of gardens and the changes in nature facing the technological transformations in today’s world
Artists: Hicham Berrada, Vincent Broquaire, France Cadet, Miguel Chevalier, Edmond Couchot & Michel Bret, Bertrand Gadenne, Laurent Pernot, Davide w, Scénocosme, Antoine Schmitt, Momoko Seto.
2nd June to 1st October 2017.
