【Art and Culture Lecture】The Spiral of Life - About Janet Lawrence and Her Garden

Introduction

"Garden" is an unnatural space that human beings consciously construct and try to communicate with nature, and at the same time it is the smallest but most complete miniature world. Through people's deliberate planting, natural vitality can often spread, and there are hidden entanglements and cycles between people and plants, plants and animals, and people and non-living things.

Plants have memories that are more precise than human beings, and can describe the intertwining links of all things. Geology, ecology, human development and breeding, and even colonial history and political inheritance are closely related to the development process that interacts with each other and implicates the entire ecology.

From garden to plant memory, projecting artist Lawrence's unique world view, in the display and creation, Lawrence uses scientific methods to describe and explain her garden spirit, and the animal museum and plant specimens under the National Taiwan University Museum Group The museum, together with the Geological Herbarium and the Special Biological Research and Conservation Center of the Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan, is produced on-site.

This lecture invites curator Professor Zhang Wanzhen to talk with artist Janet Laurence to share the meeting between art and science in the process of curation.
