of experiences with unstable art.</span></strong><span lang="EN-US"><br /> <br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">16th-18th June, 2011<span style="font-weight: normal;"> in</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> Arts Santa Mònica, Barcelona.</span></span></strong><br /> <br /> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">A new edition of the workshop
Botaniq - Archive of experiences will take place during the exhibition Sistemes
Vius [Living Systems] of Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau.</span><span lang="EN-US"><br /> <br /> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">Free registration with limited
vacancies.</span><span lang="EN-US"><br /> <br /> <strong><span style="color: black;">What is Botaniq?</span></strong><br /> <span style="color: black;">Botaniq is an open archive of illustrated personal
diaries that shows the experience of diverse interactors with works of art.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: black;">The workshop does a theoretical parallel between the
problematic of conservation faced by Performance, Digital Art, Bio-Art, Net
Art, among other variations of intangible reality and the challenges faced by
the conquerors of America in the XVIth century, unable to keep alive the
wonderful nature that they were finding; leading to personal diaries and
fantastic reinterpretations of reality.</span><br /> <span style="color: black;">The personal diaries</span><span style="color: #00ccff;"> </span><span style="color: black;">went from being just documentation or a copy
to become the reality itself.</span><br /> <span style="color: black;">How does one preserve the flavor and aroma of a
pineapple and show it to Europe?</span><br /> <br /> <span style="color: black;">For 3 days, we are going to take as case of study and
archive, the exhibition of Systems Vius by Chirsta Sommerer and Laurent
Mignonneau, where every participant using notations and other heterogeneous
techniques will develop his/her personal illustrated diary about his/her
experience with one of the exposed art installations.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black;">A way of preserving art
is across our own experiences and interactions, reinterpreting and capturing
its spirit or essence. To be able to look at the work of art more than in its
materiality, as an artifact that narrates stories of a cultural moment, a
unique journey, particular and unrepeatable.</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p>
