2.00pm-6.00: Ecology exhibition
"Like an echo ton" is the title of the exhibition of four artists gathered in the framework of the annual Post_Production programme. It is based on a play on the word "ecotone", which defines a "transition zone between two ecosystems, where the environmental conditions are intermediate". Thus, in landscape ecology, the word is used to describe certain boundaries between different natural conditions, for example the transition from a forest to a savannah, from an alluvial zone to a non-flooded one. It is then a question of describing an in-between, not a narrow border, an abstract line. Rather, it is the space where two universes with their own characteristics meet and which, at the place of the ecotone that links them, intermingle their specificities.
Price: Free (open house)
Meeting point: FRAC Occitanie, 4 rue Rambaud (Quartier Gambetta - Figuerolles)
