Contextual Art Practices and Curatorship III - Watching Apple Trees Blossom

The title "Watching Apple Trees Blossom" serves as an introduction and refers to the non-action of sitting under the apple trees & watching them lose their blossoms, the very first in the series/project “The Sanctimonious Sect of Nothing Is Sacred” by Victoria Stanton. Alongside Vânia, Victoria and Gabreille discussed about how we can challenge the notions of “productivity” and the value we place upon time.

In April 2023, PLANT launched its DREAM phase with online conversations on Contextual Art Practices and Curatorship. These conversations are looking forward to reflecting on how art production can be more socially and environmentally responsible while revealing Contextual Art Practices as approaches that are simultaneously rooted in territory and that can be replicated anywhere. By bringing together artists and curators who will share their practical experiences, we hope to broaden and enrich this dialogue, activating a wider national and international engagement and drawing new synergies for potential collaborations.
