Fernando García-Dory (Inland) + Vessel + Marco Degaetano

Fernando García-Dory has been experimenting with the capacity of art to promote and question social, political and cultural transformation processes, that focus on possibly new economic and ecological understandings of how development models could be. They usually require a relatively defined group to interact with, a long-lasting engagement and specific tactics within a cultural strategy of strengthening, and self-definition of a cultural perception of the self, the social organism and the place it happens to be located in. Making use of fine arts, rural sociology and agroecology, in his work, García-Dory confronts the cultural condition under post-Fordism, addressing issues that affect the relationship between culture and nature, embodied within the contexts of landscape, rural, desires and expectations, identity aspects, crisis, utopy and social change, using representation forms from drawing, to expanded sculpture and to self-organisation of communities.
