SABG's Summer Art Nights: All the trees at dusk £8 to £12
Join the Botanic Garden team for an evening dedicated to light, sustainability and exploring our environment with a new perspective in a captivating performance of the audio-visual installation All the trees by our international artists-in-residence, Studio Lemercier, co-directed by curator Juliette Bibasse and artist Joanie Lemercier.
As the title suggests, trees are at the heart of this night. And while they often blend into the background of our busy weeks, the symbolism of trees is rich and multifaceted, dating back thousands of years. Their presence within folkloric traditions all over the world is evidence of the important and deep relationship humans have had with them.
All the trees by Studio Lemercier re-enchants our senses and encourages us to look at trees in a different light, unveiling details that may usually go unnoticed. By illuminating a section of trees or a single tree in the Botanic Garden, the artists transcend conventional exhibition spaces. And as the outdoors transform into a realm that brings together nature and culture, the installation reinspires a sense of awe, appreciation and care.
All the trees will be preceded by a 45-minute artist talk from Studio Lemercier, reflecting on art, technology and activism in the face of the ecological crisis.
