Proyecto AMIL
Lima
For the seventh edition of AMIL- Art Sessions, the designer Ralph Bauer will present They Call Us Nature: 80 variations on an image –a temporal exhibition based on the repetition of one image depicting a romanticized version of the natural world– that will serve as a background for a conversation between the designer and architect Paulo Dam about nature and us, images and text, and narration with images.
AMIL- Art Sessions is a series of monthly encounters at Proyecto AMIL aimed to expand artistic and curatorial practice beyond the temporal and spatial limitations of exhibition making. Throughout this series Proyecto AMIL seeks to promote alternative ways to talk about and experience contemporary art; as well as create a platform for exchange between artists, curators, researchers and our local audience.
