Sobre o Contágio
A experiência do Atelier Contágio foi idealizada pelo artista Mathias Reis no inicio em 2016 com a cartografia de um espaço para ações de permacultura imbricadas por arte em Barão Geraldo (Campinas/SP). A proposta foi reunir uma rede de artistas para refletir sobre como interferir no ambiente e criar junto a suas relações eco-lógicas ao longo do tempo. Durante dois anos foram desenvolvidos projetos artísticos vinculados a permacultura, agregando outras pessoas em mutirões para o plantio de hortas , construção de viveiros, reutilização de pallets, construção com bambus, forno de taipa dentre outros. Após duas mostras públicas, uma realizada em 2017 e outra no inicio de 2018 (antes e após a temporada de chuvas), já constituída uma organização coletiva, os artistas decidiram por levar essa experiência a outros lugares. Ninguém pertence ao Contágio, assim como o Contágio não pertence a ninguém. Assim como a terra que desliza por baixo dos muros, o Contágio tornou-se um atelier nômade, descentrado e sem hierarquia - sua espacialidade existe nas vivências entre os participantes e lugares que ocupa.
The experience of Atelier Contágio was idealized by the artist Mathias Reis in the began of 2016, with the cartography of a space for permaculture actions imbricated by art at Barão Geraldo (Campinas/Brazil). The proposal was to bring together a network of artists to reflect on how to interfere in the environment and create along with their eco-logical relationships over time. For two years, artistic projects related to permaculture were developed, adding other people in groups for gardening, nursery construction, re-use of pallets, construction with bamboos, taipa furnace among others. After two public exhibitions, one held in 2017 and another in early 2018 (before and after the rainy season), a collective organization was formed, the artists decided to take this experience to other places. Like the land that slides beneath the walls, Contagion has become a nomadic atelier, decentered and without hierarchy - its spatiality exists in the experiences between the participants and the places it occupies.
