Mobile Soils is a series of three dinners in collaboration between SAE Greenhouse Lab, Manon Briod & Mathieu Pochon, arvae, foodculture days, and TETI Group. As part of a series of thematic exchanges between science, art, and agronomy, the dinners unfolded the three chapters of the publication “Mobile Soils” by TETI Press, investigating the mineral and rooted discussions of the underground, looking at the layered and planted conversations on the ground, and finally exploring the circulating patterns across the overground.
With @sae_greenhouselab in dialogue with scenographies devised by @rakkete and Mathieu Pochon, @teti.group unfolded the first chapter “underground” while @arvae.ch unfolded the second chapter “ground.”
For this final dinner of the series, Overground, @foodculturedays invited artist Grace Denis to examine the circulation of plants and nutrients at ground level, questioning the transit of plants and seeds through various terrains. Traversing beyond the subterranean into the plane in which we most frequently encounter plant matter, the dinner investigated the cycling of nutrients amongst plants, illustrating the circulatory forms inherent to cultivation.
The evening commenced with a walk and discussion on the circulation of seeds by @benabstan and @alorsannelaure wearing boots by @palomito.a representing the distribution of seeds on the Mexico/US border. The dinner at @sae_greenhouselab facilitated a conversation about beans and their role in nitrogen fixation, complemented by a degustation of fresh and dried beans, accompanied by produce from @praz_bonjour. The dinner continued with the Edible Lexicon, foraging for various definitions in the greenhouse, followed by a discussion exploring potential terms. After a collective conversation about the definitions, and the notion of undefining or unlearning, they were transcribed onto edible paper using beet ink, followed by foraging for ingredients in the greenhouse to fill the rolls. Beautiful scenography by @rakkete and a library organized by @alorsannelaure of @volumeszurich
