Curated by Zoe Alexander Fisher OPENING PARTY + POP-UP-SHOP on Saturday, August 7th, 2010 from 7-10pm FREE BEER + FUN A Group Show Featuring Futurefarmers: Amy Franceschini + Michael Swaine Adriane Colburn Phil McGaughy Zoe Alexander Fisher Audrey Snyder And POP-UP-SHOP Featuring The General Store + The Botany Factory The Biomimicry Project asks its participants to think of their product as a process. Through the process of design, production, consumption and disposal, Biomimicry Project producers work to BIOMIMIC - to integrate, to honor, to open a dialogue with, to give visibility to, and to be inspired by – the natural processes which run parallel and play an integral part in their production. "We are a part of the natural world, not separate from it, and have a shared path with reciprocal actions: while we impact hard on nature, nature also influences us. Giving form to this connectedness and reciprocity is a key part of sustainability" (Sustainable Textiles). The Biomimicry Project utilizes nature’s solutions to illuminate the relationship between human and natural systems.
