Talk at the “Art and Ecology” research and innovation seminar. Centro de Arte 2 de Mayo (CA2M), (Mostoles, Spain).
April 10 - 13, 2013
I’m participating at the research and innovation seminar “Artistic, ecological and collaborative practices in marginal sites [Practicas artisticas, ecologicas y colaborativas en espacios marginales].”
I talk about my artwork “Arundo donax Jubierre” in the Monegros desert in Spain, one of the few barren lands in Europe.
About CA2M collaborations “R&D Seminar”:
The R&D Art and Ecology group at the Faculty of Fine Arts at Complutense University of Madrid organizes this seminar dedicated to both ephemeral and permanent artistic practices in degraded sites, either urban, rural, or natural.

The event is intended for people interested in both art made in the present day by living artists and ecology.
