Labofactory is an interdiciplinary collective that consists of scientist Jean-Marc Chomaz, architect Laurent Karst and composer Francois-Eudes Chanfraults. Together they explore the cross-overs between the imagination of art and science. The exhibition Aquaplanet consists of a work from 2013 Fluxus and two new works 2080 and Red Shift in which natural physical phenomena are visualized to experience a primordial universum.

by Krijn Christiaansen and Cathelijne Montens (KCCM)
Orangerie
May 31 – Aug 23
KCCM focuses on the manner in which public space and landscapes are being made, experienced and transformed by people. Sensing Nature (1972-2022) explores the history of the Amstelpark which was established for the horticulture exhibition, the Floriade. In the Orangerie the fieldwork and archival research will be exhibited that forms the bases for several spatial interventions in the park. In debates with audience, experts and amateurs a renewed relation to the cultivated urban nature will be developed in the Amstelpark with an eye to the coming Floriade in 2022.

by Driessens & Verstappen
Road between Glazen Huis & Vijver
May 31 – Sep 30
Plant scientists study the adaptive capacities of plants under extreme conditions, as happens when new crop varieties are developed. How far can you take this? Driessens & Verstappen found inspiration for their project in the Herbarium, where the shape of plants is manipulated by flattening them, and where the uniform categorization highlights their differences. In Herbarium Vivum the artists do the same with seven living crops. They made frames where the plants have to develop themselves into an almost two-dimensional growth form. The question arises whether the plants in the living herbarium will start to resemble their own representations in herbaria and botanical illustrations, as a result of manipulating the growth process.

Dahliarama
permanent installation
Buzzbench is a sculptural environment that can be shared by humans and insects. It is a monumental bench in the middle of a flower field that functions simultaneously as a place to sit for humans and a biotope for insects. The bench is constructed from cane and bamboo which offers insects separate tunnels to lay eggs and survive the winter. As part of a bee cordon through the city Buzzbench forms a special public space in the Amstelpark which the artist together with a bee expert will maintain for the next ten years.

This summer Zone2Source starts a long term collaborative research project with Theun Karelse from Proefstation MidWest. With Machine Wilderness we will develop together with artists, scientists, designers, and ecologists a knowledge and production platform for the creation of ecological robots. The final goal is the development of a Machine Wilderness Lab and Zoo in which the co-habitation of machines, animals and plants will be researched to envision a different, symbiotic relation between technology and nature.

Midsummer Night's Dream Solstice
Diverse locations
start Orangerie garden
Jun 21, 3 – 6 pm
Zone2Source will host the third annual Midsummer Night's Dream Solstice Performance Event on the Summer Solstice. A series of performances will be presented in the environs of our pavillions that will respond to the timely theme of the turning point of the solstice, Midsummer or St. John's day, the brief moment during which humans are in closest proximity with the parallel world of earth spirits, phantoms of nature and fairies. Performances by, amongst others, The Genetic Choir, The Secret Commonwealth and The Peter Hurkos Chair.
