Look out for green!

Green is a colour that we strongly associate with nature, calm and wholesomeness, but the uses to which green is put don't always adhere to these greatly desired positive concepts. Sometimes, they mask much more malicious or undesirable intentions. Certain brands adopt carefully selected shades of green to seem more “organic”; other more congenial companies elect to promote themselves with a cheerful parrot green, while their history is actually a significantly darker green.  

In previous sessions we’ve enjoyed pleasant strolls through different parks and green areas, but this time we’re going to meet outside the blue-green facade of the Museo CA2M and together dissect the invasive species which, dressed in green, are appearing around this and other neighbourhoods. No, we’re not talking about the monk parakeets that are getting such a bad reputation, but spaces created by human beings that are emerging in certain areas and spreading like a virulent plague.

At this session we’ll use those greens and their images, forms and meanings to create a collective collage, this time nice and warm inside the museum. See you on 3 December at the entrance to the Museo CA2M!
