GREENHOUSE CONVERSATIONS
About
The greenhouse was built by residents of Sankt Vith, visitors to the Patchwork VoG, young artists of the Collectief Publiek Geluid and members of the cultural associations Meakusma and Musica. It gives local residents the opportunity to sow, grow and harvest their own vegetables and listen to sound compositions by international artists. Everyone can visit and spend some time in the greenhouse. It is both an open garden and a sound artwork: a place for encounters, horticulture, listening and silence.
As a large glass instrument, the greenhouse utilises 8 transducers to vibrate deep inside the glass. The glass produces and amplifies sound that you can hear both inside and outside. With its location along the RAVeL cycle path and the community garden of Patchwork, the greenhouse invites both travelers and residents to stop and listen. Put your ear against the window and experience a special environment in which sound makes glass resonate.
The Greenhouse Conversations collection of sounds and compositions is always incomplete and, like the plants, grows over several years. This way new works are added each time. The first soundscapes were created together with the residents who contributed to the installation. In this way they get a permanent place in the landscape.
Collectief Publiek Geluid is a group of young makers, musicians and sound artists who focus on musical creations in relation to the public space. Collectief Publiek Geluid responds to architecture and the environment and explores its artistic possibilities. Their work has previously been shown at STUK, OORtreders Festival, Klankenbos, Meakusma Festival, etc.
Greenhouse Conversations is the result of a collaboration between Meakusma and Musica, Impulse Center for Music. In collaboration with: Patchwork vzw and the City of Sankt-Vith. With the financial support of C-TAKT, The German Community, The Flemish Region and The Flemish Community.
Artistic Concept and Realization: Vincent Caers, Lukas De Clerck, Sebastian Dingens, Anne van de Star, Joost Van Duppen and Eveline Vervliet
With: Eduard, Günther, Ahmed, Kerry, Jolene, Omar, Ahmad, Michael and his grandchildren, Jolene and Stephanie.
