On Saturday night Colin & I went to The Soap Factory to experience Joe Madrigal and Amber Ginsburg’s FLO(WE){U}R project. Throughout the night the artists were busy making clay bomb casings, re-imagined as seed shakers. Visitors were invited to fill them with seed mix and to take them outside for a walk around the neighborhood, scattering seeds. A century ago, similar terra cotta casings were manufactured, filled with baking flour, and used as test bombs. In this project, the artists used those original blueprints to create something entirely different and generative. There are a couple of seed-scattering bike rides planned for the coming weeks, and an event as part of the Northern Spark festival on June 9th. All of that information can be found on The Soap Factory’s website.
