IsSacred Forms" to opens the series of artist sense at Mabos. This international residency took place from July 1 to July 8, 2018, involving three artists selected by the project curators Elvira Todaro (Italy) and Jose Luis Reyes Criado (Spain). "SacredFormsproposes a project for the ideation, design, and collective construction of an intimate space in the woods that invites reflection and artistic production around the triad of Man-Sacred-Nature.An organic hut was constructed using materials found and provided by Monte Sila and the surroundings of the MABOS Museum of Forest Art, aiming to offer visitors and artists a place for refuge, reflection, isolation, and spiritual growth. The resident artists, Hu Huiming (Cina), Park Seungwan (Corea) e Mohammad Fallahjuladi studied the site-specific language and expression of MABOS, exploring the territory, trees, wood, sounds, scents, streams, air, wind, and light, both day and night. They analyzed the found materials and created the Hut during the residency. Each artist produced, in addition to the common project, a work of art that was permanently installed in the area of the Hut for the Culto Poetico – Sacred Forms. The residency concluded with a conference and a performance by Elvira Todaro on Sunday, July 8, 2018.
SACRED FORMS is a research and interdisciplinary artistic production project that aims to unite the triad of Man-Sacred-Nature into a cohesive whole. In these changing times, where eco-consciousness is increasingly necessary, SACRED FORMS seeks to blend the Ancestral with the Contemporary, focusing on the common denominator of human life throughout all ages: our being part of Nature. Nature must be listened to, understood, and celebrated through the new artistic languages of Contemporaneity. SACRED FORMS proposes sociocultural activation through workshops, artist residencies, performances, site-specific works, critical insights, and activities that are spiritual, holistic, and agroecological, linked to the territory in which it operates as well as a network of national and international collaborations. These activities aim to reconnect humanity with nature, and thus, with itself. The project is currently being developed in two natural locations: Obejo (Spain) and the Province of Pisa (Italy).
Below are the artists sharing their stories about the works they created during the residency at Mabos.
