VIA•ARS•NATURA, the way to art and nature
pilot project
- MIKKELIPUISTO and SAKSALANHARJU -

CONTENT
The works in the project can be created for short or long term - as temporary or permanent works - integrated and site specific. The area can be enriched with long-term planted and growing artwork, designed to fit in with the existing native trees and other plants. There are many possibilities for this kind of art works like trees being woven, pleached, grafted and pruned into living sculpture. Areas of trees and/or bushes planted to form graphic shapes. Grass used to create visual images. Waterways altered with stone and trees. Earthworks and land shaping (landscaping) used as constructive elements. Landscape structures and planting which can give direction to the visitor. Temporary works can may be pre-existing, commissioned or invited for exhibition and relate specifically to the landscape or geology of Etelä-Savo, for instance sculptures that could be sited to draw attention to the agriculture or glacial history in the area. Conservation, bio-diversity and habitat are also items that can be included in the art works.
