Presenting Reminiscent Urban Archeology by Sergio Marimba
Materiality and substance in “Reminiscent Urban Archeology”, Sergio Marimba addresses time and affection. Marimba has been collecting worn, oxidized, rusted and obsolete objects, some of them dated to specific periods and locations for over 35 years. The artist is interested in displaying these artifacts based on remnant feelings they might carry.
The ANTProject was born from the need to create a horizontal structure of interaction among artists, curators, writers, and performers. Its aim is to facilitate interconnection between seemingly disparate individual practices, nurturing the creative process of the community as a whole.
Its mission is inspired by the interaction of ants in an ant colony where individuals, performing their own role, connect with the larger whole in order to feed the colony. The achievements of ants interacting in a colony would be impossible for a single member on their own.
The ANTProject Workshops are interactive conversations where members of the platform present a brief overview of one of their projects to a live audience. The audience has the opportunity to respond following each presentation, bringing their own source material to the discussion as a means of enriching the reception of all projects.
