Piedras, jardines y encantamientos

Arte Abierto presents Stones, gardens and enchantments a workshop with Miguel Cinta Robles.

What do stones do in a garden? Perhaps they are part of a bench, a connecting path, or a dividing wall. What do the stones do in a forest? They can be fragments of a cave, a refuge for critters looking for a moment of privacy or a filter for the water that crosses a river. What do the stones do in the city? They are the fragment of a monument, a projectile in a protest or something that gets stuck in a shoe. Observing stones can help us think about other time scales, in dimensions that go beyond us as individuals. At first glance, a stone may seem like a static object, but its formation and movement have shaped the landscapes we inhabit.

Piedras, jardines y encantaciones is a reflective workshop to exercise contemplation, a space to question and rethink the garden as a containment and classification mechanism of what we understand by “nature”. We will reflect on the methods we use to observe and how they are reflected in the way we perceive our spaces and gardens. We will carry out some exploration exercises to understand the stones again and build other forms of "classification", imagining that the stones can also be spells to attract water, be linked to lunar cycles, stories, esotericisms, to learn to observe what, to our It doesn't seem to move.
