THE VERNACULAR, THE DISAPPEARED, THE REDISCOVERED AND OTHER STORIES FROM NATURE: ABOUT THE EVENTS BY FRENCHMOTTERSHEAD

The London-based artist duo FrenchMottershead realized a series of participatory microperformances, Understories, in three Up to Nature cities. The audience took part in the performances that were about traditional local skills, many of which are destined to disappear. The stress was put on the participatory aspect of the events as well as on the material interaction between nature and cultural activityUmetniška dvojica FrenchMottershead iz Londona je na obrobjih štirih mest, kjer se je odvijal festival Up to Nature, izvedla serijo participatornih mikroperformansov z naslovom Understories (Podrast ali Skrivne zgodbe). V performansih, ki predstavljajo tradicionalne krajevne veščine, od katerih so številne obsojene na izumrtje, so sodelovali tudi udeleženci. Poudarek je bil na participatornosti dogodkov in stvarni interakciji med naravo in kulturnim delovanjem
