Performative Habitats: participatory project between art, philosophy and natural sciences
Egle Oddo’s project Performative Habitats starts 12th of November 2020. The artist, born in Italy and based in Finland, is supported by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism under the Italian Council program. The first appointment is Five Short Stories, a solo exhibition at the GMK gallery in Zagreb, accompanied by a series of performances.
The program includes a series of exhibitions, actions, events, and lectures in Zagreb, Palermo, Rome, Vienna, Tunis, Mänttä and Helsinki, culminating with an installation en plein air at the XXV Mänttä Festival of Visual Arts, held in Finland in June 2021. The installation will be activated during the summer through a series of performances. The Performative Habitats project is curated by Lori Adragna and includes several creative moments which will be rendered as a monographic publication produced in collaboration with postmediabooks publishing house, Milan.
Named to indicate their continuous evolution and mutation, the artist will create living sculptures and install evolutionary gardens accessible to the public. By planting cultivars and wild species in synthesis, the artist blurs the lines between the designs of agricultural sites and urban parks intended for leisure, and the seemingly chaotic appearance of the wilderness. Many critics have observed that in the landscapes created by Oddo, there is a fascination for unusual assemblages of plants that appear clearly distinguishable from their surroundings due to their biotic identity. These gardens become protected areas for biodiversity, allowing the most vulnerable species to thrive. During the course of the project, the artist will activate the gardens through a performance program, observing the way in which different forms of life relate to each other.
Performative Habitats merges biology, botany, and natural sciences with the varied languages of artistic disciplines. At a historical moment that sees climate change among our primary emergencies, the artist aims to convert everyday practices and establish new production methods that are sustainable for the environment. Through her environmental approach, Oddo's work develops through the creation of living sculptures that reside in the realm of public works of art.
Before concluding at the Mänttä Festival, the series of performative actions will take place in Croatia, Austria, Italy, and Tunisia. The project is realised in collaboration with the following partners: gallery GMK, Myymälä2 gallery, Mänttä Festival, Pixelache Helsinki, ProArtibus Foundation, STEBICEF Department and Department of Humanities of the University of Palermo, CBBC - Center of Biotechnology of Borj Cedrja. In specific locations, the project exists thanks to the collaboration with the following curators: Lea Vene at the GMK gallery, Croatia; Basak Senova at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna; Anna Ruth at the Mänttä Festival, Finland.
The project is supported by: the Italian Council (8th Edition, 2020) program to promote Italian contemporary art in the world by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism; the Arts Promotion Center Finland; the Finnish Cultural Foundation; the Italian Cultural Institute of Helsinki; the Italian Cultural Institute of Tunis.

Performative Habitats, il progetto partecipativo tra arte, biologia e scienze naturali
Inaugura il 12 novembre 2020 Performative Habitats, il progetto di Egle Oddo realizzato grazie al sostegno della Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea del Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali e per il Turismo nell’ambito del programma Italian Council. Primo appuntamento la mostra Cinque Storie Brevi presso la galleria GMK accompagnata da una serie di performances. In programma una serie di mostre, azioni, eventi, dibattiti e lectures tra Zagabria, Palermo, Vienna, Tunisi, Mänttä e Helsinki, che culmineranno in una installazione en plein air pensata per il XXV Mänttä Festival di Arte Visiva in Finlandia, a giugno 2021 e che sarà attivata durante l’estate attraverso un calendario di performances.
Il progetto Performative Habitats è a cura di Lori Adragna e si articola in più momenti creativi: il tutto sarà raccontato da una pubblicazione monografica realizzata in collaborazione con postmediabooks.
L’artista creerà sculture viventi e installerà dei giardini evolutivi (così chiamati per indicare la continua evoluzione e mutazione cui sono sottoposti), vere e proprie opere d’arte accessibili al pubblico. Per realizzarli Egle Oddo pianta semi di cultivar (varietà coltivate) congiuntamente a semi di specie selvatiche, annullando così la linea di demarcazione che separa il design dei siti per l’agricoltura, dal design dei parchi urbani destinati al tempo libero e dall’apparenza caotica delle lande selvatiche. Sono insoliti assemblaggi di piante, che si distinguono nettamente dall’ambiente circostante grazie alla loro singolare identità biotica. Questi giardini diventano zone protette per la biodiversità, permettendo alle specie più vulnerabili di prosperare. Nel corso del progetto l’artista li attiverà attraverso un programma di performance collettive, osservando il modo in cui diverse forme di vita si relazionano tra loro.
Con Performative Habitats biologia, botanica e scienze naturali incontrano i molteplici linguaggi delle discipline artistiche. In un momento storico come questo che vede il cambiamento climatico tra le emergenze primarie, l’artista, nata in Italia e residente in Finlandia, si prefigge l’obiettivo di riconvertire le pratiche quotidiane e stabilire nuove modalità di produzione che siano sostenibili per l’ambiente.
Prima di concludersi al Mänttä Festival, la serie di azioni performative avrà luogo in Croazia, Austria, Italia, e Tunisia. Il progetto si avvale della collaborazione dei seguenti partners: galleria GMK, galleria Myymälä2, Mänttä Festival, Pixelache Helsinki, Dipartimento STEBICEF e Dipartimento di Scienze Umanistiche dell’Universitá di Palermo, CBBC - Centro di Biotecnologia di Borj Cedria. Nelle sedi specifiche il progetto si avvale della collaborazione con le seguenti curatrici: Lea Vene alla galleria GMK, Croazia; Basak Senova all’Università delle Arti Applicate di Vienna; Anna Ruth al Mänttä Festival, Finlandia.
Supportano il progetto: l’Italian Council (VIII edizione, 2020), programma di promozione dell’arte contemporanea ilaliana nel mondo della Direzione Generale Creatività Contemporanea del Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali e per il Turismo; the Arts Promotion Centre Finland; the Finnish Cultural Foundation; l’Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Helsinki; l’Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Tunisi.

Habitats Performatifs : projet participatif entre art, biologie et sciences naturelles
Le projet Habitats Performatifs, dirigé par Egle Oddo, démarre le 12 novembre 2020. L'artiste, née en Italie et basée en Finlande, est soutenue par la Direction Générale pour la Créativité Contemporaine, un programme du Ministère italien du Patrimoine Culturel, des Activités et du Tourisme dans le cadre du programme du Conseil italien. Le premier rendez-vous est Cinq Histoires Courtes, une exposition individuelle à la galerie GMK de Zagreb, accompagnée d'une série de performances.
Le programme comprend une série d'expositions, d'actions, d'événements et de conférences à Zagreb, Palerme, Rome, Vienne, Tunis, Mänttä et Helsinki, culminant avec une installation en plein air au XXVe Festival des Arts Visuels de Mänttä, tenu en Finlande en juin 2021. L'installation sera activée durant l'été à travers une série de performances. Lori Adragna est le commissaire d’exposition de Habitats Performatifs. Le projet comprend plusieurs moments créatifs qui seront rassemblés sous forme d'une publication monographique produite en collaboration avec la maison d'édition postmediabooks, Milan.
L'artiste créera des sculptures vivantes et installera des jardins évolutifs (appelés ainsi pour indiquer l'évolution et la mutation continues auxquelles ils sont soumis), véritables œuvres d'art accessibles au public. En plantant conjointement des cultivars (variétés cultivées) et des graines d'espèces sauvages, l’artiste annule la ligne de démarcation qui sépare la conception des sites agricoles, de la conception de parcs urbains destinés aux loisirs, de l'apparence chaotique de la nature à l’état sauvage. Ce sont des assemblages inhabituels de plantes, qui se distinguent clairement du milieu environnant grâce à leur identité biotique unique. Ces jardins deviennent des zones protégées pour la biodiversité, permettant aux espèces les plus vulnérables de s'épanouir. Au cours du projet, l'artiste les activera à travers un programme de performances collectives, observant la manière dont les différentes formes de vie s'entremêlent.
Habitats Performatifs fusionne la biologie, la botanique et les sciences naturelles avec les langages variés des disciplines artistiques. À un moment historique où le changement climatique fait partie de nos urgences primordiales, l'artiste vise à convertir les pratiques quotidiennes et à établir de nouvelles méthodes de production durables pour l'environnement. Par son approche environnementale, l’œuvre d'Oddo se développe à travers la création de sculptures vivantes qui résident dans le domaine des œuvres d'art publiques.
Avant de se terminer au Festival de Mänttä, la série d'actions performatives se déroulera en Croatie, en Autriche, en Italie et en Tunisie. Le projet est réalisé en collaboration avec les partenaires suivants : galerie GMK, galerie Myymälä2, Festival de Mänttä, Pixelache Helsinki, Département STEBICEF et Département des sciences humaines de l'Université de Palerme, CBBC - Centre de biotechnologie de Borj Cedria.

Performative Habitats, taiteilija Egle Oddon osallistava projekti taiteen, biologian, sekä luonnontieteiden välillä
Taiteilija Egle Oddon projekti Performative Habitats saa ensi-iltansa 12. marraskuuta 2020. Taiteilija on syntynyt Italiassa ja työskentelee Suomessa, saa tukea työskentelylleen Italian valtuuston ohjelman alaisena toimivan Italian kulttuuriperinnön ja -aktiviteettien sekä turismin ministeriön nykyluovuuden alan pääjohtajan toimesta. Oddon teoksen ensimmäinen osa, sooloesitys Five Short Stories, esitetään GMK galleriassa laajemman esityssarjan säestämänä.
Ohjelma sisältää sarjan näyttelyitä, toimia, tapahtumia sekä luentoja Zagrebissa, Palermossa, Roomassa, Wienissä, Tunisiassa, Mäntässä ja Helsingissä, kulminoituen installaatioon en plein air Mäntän kuvataideviikoilla kesällä 2021. Installaatio aktivoituu kesän aikana esityssarjan myötä. Lori Adragnan kuratoima, lukuisten luovien hetkien projekti Performative Habitats kootaan monografiseksi julkaisuksi yhteistyössä Milanolaisen kirjakustantamon postmediabooksin kanssa.
Työssään, joka on nimetty kertomaan evoluution ja mutaation jatkumosta, taiteilija luo eläviä veistoksia ja asentaa yleisölle avoimia evolutiivisia puutarhoja. Istuttamalla erilaisia lajikkeita ja villejä lajeja synteesissä, taiteilija hämärtää maataloudellisten alueiden ja vapaa-ajan viettoon suunnattujen urbaanien puistojen suunnittelun sekä erämaan näennäisen kaoottisuuden rajoja. Monet kriitikot ovat huomioineet Oddon luomissa maisemissa bioottisen identiteettinsä ansiosta ympäristöstään selkeästi erottuvien kasvien epätavallisista asetelmista elävän lumon. Nämä puutarhat muuttuvat suojelluiksi monimuotoisuuden alueiksi, luoden kasvualustan kaikkein herkimmille lajeille. Projektin elinkaaren aikana taiteilija aktivoi puutarhoja esiintymisohjelman välityksellä, huomioiden erilaisten elämänmuotojen keskinäisiä vuorovaikutussuhteita.
Performative Habitats yhdistää biologiaa, kasvitiedettä, sekä luonnontieteitä eri taiteenalojen useilla kielillä. Historiallisessa hetkessämme, jossa ilmastonmuutos näkyy yhtenä ensisijaisista hätätiloistamme, taiteilija tähtää muuntamaan päivittäisiä harjoitteita ja vakiinnuttamaan uusia tuotantotapoja, jotka ovat kestäviä ympäristölle. Ympäristöystävällisen lähestymistapansa avulla Oddon työ kehittyy julkisten taideteosten maailmassa sijaitsevien elävien veistosten kautta.
Ennen päätöstään Mäntän kuvataideviikoilla, esityksellisten toimien sarjaa esitetään Kroatiassa, Itävallassa, Italiassa sekä Tunisiassa.
