Entanglements is a collective exhibition of works that emerges as a continuation of the “DRIFT & MIGRATE” project created by The Algae Society and exhibited at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Madrid in November 2019.
This show is included in the activities that take place in Madrid on the occasion of COP25 and more specifically in relation to the Global Summit on Climate and Health that takes place in the School of Medicine of the Complutense University of Madrid.
With this project, the School of Medicine welcomes work created by The Algae Society Members, students from the Master in Research, Art and Creation at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (MIAC), and members of the Art, Technology and Social Commitment Research Group (ARTECO).The Algae Society is an international collective of artists and scientists working on sustainability and the environment with the aim of highlighting the value of the organisms that produce most of the oxygen we consume: algae. Thus, from artistic practice and collaboration they develop exhibition projects that support the dissemination and knowledge of these organisms and the importance they have for life. The exhibition project Entanglements refers to the complex and rich relationships that algae establish with other organisms to create the wide variety of ecosystems in our planet.
The exhibit highlights the impact of human activity on the marine environment through global warming and the consequent acidification of the waters, and as this in turn, impacts the existence of Algae directly through their degradation, or indirectly on the ecosystems and organisms with which they live, whether corals, marine plants or animals.
The vision of The Algae Society is to propose projects that, with a marked international character, explore problems related to these organisms both globally and locally to show that the conservation of marine ecosystems is an issue that concerns all humanity.The exhibition has graphic works, photographs, interactive works, audiovisual installations sculptures that pose the personal vision of more than 25 artists from different parts of the world.
The exhibition will be open to the public from December 6, 2019 through January 30, 2020

in the main hall of the School of Medicine of the Complutense University of Madrid.
