Ecological Art That’s Literally Alive

The Swiss Institute is currently hosting an exhibition titled “Spora” that challenges the traditional concept of art exhibitions by incorporating living elements such as growing weeds and compost. Spanning over three years from May 2023 to May 2026, this unique show explores themes of ecology and climate change through various artworks strategically placed throughout the institute’s physical space.

One of the standout features of “Spora” is the visually engaging nature of the artworks and the thoughtful curation that establishes connections between them. For example, Hendl Helen Mirra’s painted stripes on the walls encourage the use of leftover mixed paint to reduce waste, while Jenna Sutela’s sculptural compost bin, “Vermi-Sibyl,” directly addresses ecological concerns. The exhibition’s title, “Spora,” alludes to the idea of spores spreading through a space, echoing the interconnectedness of the artworks.

One striking display in the exhibition features a wild tangle of weeds growing from a planter beneath a window, juxtaposed with Li Tavor’s resin-coated shirt that transforms under the filtering daylight. The addition of a soundscape by Tavor creates an eerie atmosphere in the stairwell tableau, enhancing the overall experience for visitors.

The outdoor component of “Spora” is equally captivating, with bold paintings by Raven Chacon serving as both visual art and a musical score. These outdoor works serve as an introduction to the exhibition for passersby and add another layer of depth to the overall experience.

While “Spora” may present challenges for visitors with mobility issues due to its unconventional installation across stairwells and rooftops, the exhibition’s subtle yet impactful presence lingers in the minds of those who experience it. The interconnectedness of the artworks, from Dionne Lee’s dramatic photos to Lee Mary Manning’s serene tree portraits, creates a rich tapestry of themes and ideas related to nature and human impact on the environment.

In conclusion, “Spora” at the Swiss Institute is a thought-provoking exhibition that blurs the lines between art and nature, inviting visitors to reconsider their relationship with the environment. The show will be on display until May 10, 2026, offering ample time for art enthusiasts to explore and engage with its innovative approach to exhibition design.
