SUNTRAP: a Melissa Marks installation for Joya: arte + ecología
Adventures of Volitia: SUNTRAP
Following the success of Melissa Marks’ 2010 residency at Cortijada Los Gázquez as part of the Joya: arte + ecología program, the artist now returns from New York to complete a 100 sq. meter hand-drawn installation entitled SUNTRAP.
The installation will begin on March the 8th 2011 and finish around the end of the month, 31st March.
There will be a gathering for the inauguration of SUNTRAP at 12.00 hrs on the 27th of March to which all are invited.
The event has been organised by Joya: arte + ecología. Cortijada Los Gázquez - creative retreat / eco-guest house is a sustainable, contemporary cultural and creative destination run by artists, designers and ecologists located in the Parque Natural Sierra María - Los Vélez. Almería. Spain.
“We believe this event to be an inaugural milestone in sustainable and cultural activities within rural Spain. Whether it promotes tourism or community action the contemplation of contemporary Fine Art in the natural environment is a unique opportunity and a force for change”.
