SIMKA: Site and vegetation in art
In this open lecture, the artist duo formed by Simon Häggblom and Karin Lind will talk about their artistic practice, which involves working with living materials, such as water, plants and people.
SIMKA moves in the borderland between sculpture, landscape, performance, and garden. The artist duo often works in public spaces, with living materials: water, trees, grass, people.
In their lecture, SIMKA will share
- how their practice has developed,
- how place and vegetation function as active co-creators,
- how they work in a process-based and nomadic way,
- and how this can be understood as artistic formation.
