Now, it cannot come to us and out of our busy lives we seldom find time to spend in a garden. In its replacement we have created a representational of a garden surrounding us. It is printed on our bags, our clothes, furniture upholstery, even shoes and plates. The flowers in a real garden are natural but that garden itself is synthetic \u2013 man made. But this printed synthetic garden has entered our world and our lives and feels as if it did so naturally with time.\n\nWe propose to build this garden made up objects of everyday use creating a living space. They are to be placed in local wild-flowerbeds separating the objects from each other and creating a disjunction in the form of pathways through which visitors walk around. They notice these objects and recognize the spaces they relate to, but the flower beds prevent them from accessing the intimacy of familiar spaces.\n\nThis garden is to be created in a public space which is used by people everyday on their way to their work\/home. It created a place where we can collectively explore the garden around us. It asks us to reconsider our cultural condition and ask ourselves, in this world we are creating what is natural and what is synthetic?","space":"A commonly used public space used by people to commute every day, or an alleyway connecting two streets frequented by people. The aim is not to block the space in a form of resistance but to create a sense of pause, for reflection. \n\nIt should be safe to put potted plants on the surface or make temporary plant troughs for the installation. Sunlight will be needed for plants to survive for the duration of the exhibition. \n\nSize \u2013 width \u2013 12 feet minimum, length \u2013 20 feet minimum.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[{"names":"Nayan","surname":"Srivastava","email":"s.nayan91@gmail.om","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"K8782412","address":"272\/50, Charkop,Kandiwali West","city":"Mumbai","nacionality":"India","country_id":"106","birthdate":"1991-12-08T05:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1991-12-08T05:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+917045201201","web":null},{"names":"Manas","surname":"Ranjan","email":"findmanas@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"R6525966","address":"264 Townsend St.","city":"New Brunswick","nacionality":"India","country_id":"236","birthdate":"1991-05-21T04:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1991-05-21T04:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+17327998778","web":null}],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":2,"names":"Manas","surname":"Ranjan","email":"findmanas@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"R6525966","address":"264 Townsend St.","city":"New Brunswick","nacionality":"India","country_id":"236","birthdate":"1991-05-21T04:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1991-05-21T04:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+17327998778","web":null}
