ABOUT

OSS#VMS (Outer Seed Shadow Vega Media del Segura)

Continuing with the OSS series, the garden OSS#VMS, installed at the Center for Contemporary Art La Conservera, is shaped to the geographical boundaries of the Vega Media del Segura County at Region of Murcia in Spain. On this occasion the garden plants have been selected following an investigation about the cultural identity of this region and more specifically about the idiosyncratic relations of the five municipalities that comprise the county. Each of the municipalities is represented here by a distinct variety of pepper. The pepper is considered a symbol of the cuisine of the region. However peppers have its origins in Central and South America.

 

The main objective of OSS#VMS is to generate a dialogue about local idiosyncrasies and cultural appropriation within the colonizing gastronomies, materializing all of them in the garden, and its public program which consisted in the performance Pigmentus in which Juanli Carrión cooked the peppers harvested from the garden to make “pisto”, one of the more representative dishes of the region, for the neighbors of the county, to generate a context for the dialogue.
