Current: LA Food – Design, τέχνη και διατροφή

08:02 11/11/2019 - Πηγή: In.gr

Τρόπους με τους οποίους η τέχνη και το design μπορεί να μιλήσει για θέματα που έχουν να κάνουν με την τροφή, την προέλευσή της και τη διαθεσιμότητά της εξερεύνησε η τριενάλε Current: LA Food στο Λος Άντζελες.

Κάθε μία από τις 15 εγκαταστάσεις, που τοποθετήθηκαν σε δημόσια πάρκα στο Λος Άντζελες, είχαν ως θέμα την τροφή σε μια πόλη όπου η αυξανόμενη αβεβαιότητα για εύρεση στέγης πάει χέρι-χέρι με την αυξανόμενη ανασφάλεια εξασφάλισης τροφής.

Η κομητεία του Λος

Άντζελες έχει τον μεγαλύτερο πιο ανασφαλή, ως προς την εξασφάλιση τροφής, πληθυσμό σε όλες τις ΗΠΑ.

Οι προϋποθέσεις για χρήση γης, σε συνδυασμό με τις ανεπαρκείς δημόσιες συγκοινωνίες αποθαρρύνουν καταστήματα τροφίμων από το να ανοίξουν σε πυκνοκατοικημένες χαμηλών εισοδημάτων συνοικίες της πόλης.

Το υπουργείο -σε επίπεδο Πολιτείας- Πολιτισμού οργάνωσε σε συνεργασία με το Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) LA την τριενάλε που ολοκληρώθηκε στις 3 Νοεμβρίου.

Η Current: LA Food περιλάμβανε εργαστήρια για αναζήτηση τροφής, για τον θηλασμό και την παρασκευή ψωμιού, μεταξύ πολλών άλλων, ενώ οι περισσότερες εγκαταστάσεις της έκθεσης ήταν λιτές.

@eat.non.food’s functioning algae bioreactor is housed in a greenhouse located onsite at the Orcutt Ranch. Throughout #CurrentLA FOOD, live micro-algae have grown and multiplied, observable by the changing shade and density of green within the water. The bioreactor creates the perfect environment for algae to grow, and they double in size every 24 hours. Like other plants and organisms, the cell structure of the resulting microalgae comprises oils, carbohydrates, and proteins that provide a nutrient-dense food source while removing carbon from the atmosphere. See it now until this Sunday, Nov 3. Hours: Saturday & Sunday 10am-2pm) | #icala #publicart #bioreactor #algae #losangeles #laart
