What is Farmlab?The team behind the Not A Cornfield project in Downtown Los Angeles has become Farmlab, a short-term multi-disciplinary investigation of land use issues that are related to sustainability, livability, and health.Among much more, as a nascent think tank, art production studio, and cultural performance venue, Farmlab is exploring what role, if any, the team can and should play in matters related to lessons raised and learned from the Not A Cornfield project.
Continuing to serve as a catalyst for community involvement and change through the development of art actions, projects, and otherwise, Farmlab is dedicated to the preservation and perpetuity of all living things. For a more complete answer, we invite you to check back again with us in the coming months -- as the project team continues to learn, evaluate, reflect, brainstorm, tinker, and incubate
What a great place! Honestly I didn't pay much attention to the speaker, I was busy enjoying the delicious and fresh kale and chard salad along with fruit infused water. Then at the end you emptied left over in to a compost bin and rinsed your dishes in a tub to prep to wash- no less there to reduce the water coming from the faucet needed to clean them. This place truly has a sustainable vision.
ReplyDeleteThe mission behind farmlab is quite intriguing. The presentation of animal habitats was even more insightful as to animal behaviors in their own environment, their own "farm." The video projection method for a museum exhibit was different, and shows a creative side of curating.
