Omnipresent, often overlooked, spore-spreading root-lessly rhizoiding and hairy microhabitat-maker. A cooling influence, a stabiliser and regenerator of soils after deforestation and fire.\r\n\r\nThe ruins of the former Schloss Solitude Pleasure Gardens are still present in the landscape today. An excavated hole marks the theatre, the small lake a watery hangover from the large pond which once hosted thirty gondoliers and their boats shipped from Venice. The Pleasure Gardens were never finished, and for the most part \u2013 trees, soils and plants have \u00bbovergrown\u00ab and stated their claim.\r\n\r\nIn lands of ruin, \u00bbnature\u00ab prevails. When all life has seemingly been destroyed, roots are crackling. In dense urban areas, green shoots emerge from fractures in impermeable concrete. This too, is the nature of Mosses. Moss grows in the cracks, the edges, the boundaries, the shade.\r\n\r\nThis sculpture\/monument\/artifact\/ruin\/living community(?) by Towards Species Citizenship (Mo Langmuir and Samuel Collins) in the windows of WUNDERKAMMER NATURALIA \/ ARTIFICIALIA has taken form from the Terrarium. The Terrarium was weaponised as an instrument of European imperialism, enabling the colonisation of land, people and nature through the extraction and forced migration of key plants.\r\n\r\nAdvocating the civic role of Moss, the Terrarium holds an impression of the Baden-Wurttemberg \u00bbstate\u00ab architecture. The facade is primarily a map, featuring 1000:1 carvings from the pleasure garden plan, 100:1 microscopic self portraiture and a 1:1 living community of Moss.\r\n\r\nThe accompanying sound piece oscillates between frequencies determined by the microclimate of the Terrarium interior, responding sonically to the water flowing through the plants in a livestream.\r\n\r\nThe installation plays with the measured and rational lens of Western science. Moss is pluralised, a species of intelligence, elegance and so-called \u00bbdominance\u00ab, elevated beyond the crude simplification of measurement and rationality.\r\n\r\nThe sound piece was produced in collaboration with Eva D\u00f6rr and Neil Luck.\r\nThe sculpture was produced in collaboration with Helmut Dietz and Yvette Hoffmann.\r\nVoiceover extracts are from Gathering Moss<\/em> by Robin Wall Kimmerer.\r\n\r\nTowards Species Citizenship<\/strong><\/span> is an artistic collaboration, expanding the scientific definition of species to seeing life in all forms, whilst grounding their work in relation to current political frameworks. Their work is formed through collaboration with the total environment; local experts, fellow artists, scientists, folklore, environmental elements and the non-human community.\r\n\r\nMarch 4, 2023 8 pm<\/span><\/span>\r\nIn the context of the exhibition project Currently Available<\/em> of Akademie Schloss Solitude an artist talk with Towards Species Citizenship<\/strong><\/span> (Mo Langmuir and Samuel Collins) takes place at WUNDERKAMMER NATURALIA \/ ARTIFICIALIA, Bad Cannstatt.\r\n\r\nA cooperation between Akademie Schloss Solitude and WUNDERKAMMER NATURALIA \/ ARTIFICIALIA"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content_sponsors","sponsors":[{"sponsor_name":"","sponsor_link":"","sponsor_img":35853}]}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/35894","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35894"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akademie-solitude.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35894"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
