The Third Paradise: Algae art installation

Italian painter, action and object artist, and art theorist Michelangelo Pistoletto will visit Copenhagen next week with his installation The Third Paradise

Performance and lecture:
Pistoletto will carry out the performance The Third Paradise in the Charlottenborg courtyard at 1pm. Afterwards, at 2.30pm, there will be an Artist Talk featuring Pistoletto, professor Pierre Guillet de Monthoux, Johan Andersen-Ranberg and Tomas Laursen among others. The talk will be held in the great hall at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.

The basic idea of the Third Paradise is the overcoming of the current worldwide existing conflict between the two polarities of nature and artifice. The Third Paradise is symbolically represented by a reconfiguration of the mathematical infinity sign. Center for Synthetic Biology has been invited to shape this sign by algae in the courtyard of Charlottenborg Kunsthal.
