Artist Giorgio Andreotta Calò is presenting his project "Lacuna" at the Ocean Space Center in Venice (Campo San Lorenzo).
He walked all around the Venetian Lagoon in order to understand the balance between Venice and its environmental surroundings. Is the Lagoon an extention of Venice? Or is it Venice that has to be considered as a small part of the Lagoon?

I finally got round to getting my Missisippi river water sample under a microscope. Nothing - just a lot of silt particles, then this came into view. A Paediastrum colony, about 65 microns diameter. Paediastrum is a genus of green algae, common in freshwaters. Just one dot of the vast mass of microscopic plankton that continually travels down the Mississippi catchment and out into the Gulf of Mexcio. - ayse

Lygodium Japonicum aka Japanese climbing fern (JCF) looks like a delicate cascade of ferny fractals. I had never seen anything like it aside from a floral display. Its frilly layers wind up and down trees and structures like so much kudzu dressed up for a prom. The webs say JCF was imported into florida as an ornamental in 1930. As it tolerates both low shade and cold weather, it is highly successful in forests and cypress swamps/my discovery of a small -what can one say- "stand"?- in Natchez MS seems to indicate it continues to spread.

Seminar 1 took a trip to Marghera; a municipalità of the comune of Venice. Channels were dredged in the early 20th century to form this industrial port where Bengali immigrants and many Italians who can't afford Venice proper live. The henna'd hand pictured belongs to a Bengali woman who tends a community garden in a Marghera neighborhood. "Mar gh' era" means "There was the sea." - tturnbull

Giorgio Andreotta Calò, Untitled, 2010.
Giorgio is telling us about his work in the Netherlands. Here there exists an artificial perception. In contrast to Venice, where the water spills into the streets.
Giorgio submerged part of his studio into 1.8m water, a depth calculated to be at true sea level. The result shows a almost Flemish oil painted window. But the day after the opening the window cracked and created a real flood. The work crossed the boundary of representation. - 890331
