The Fondazione Benetton Studi Ricerche, part of the campaign's cultural International Carlo Scarpa Prize for Gardens 2013, organizes a show that offers the essentials to follow the story of a historical and cultural place Icelandic, around which focuses the attention of the Award, composed of the garden Skrúður and from the village of Thu- Nupur, located on the edge of one of the fjords of the north-western region, a few kilo-meters from the little circle-ing Arctic.

The exhibition will be aperta da sabato 11 May to Domenica 30 June 2013 Bomben spaces of Treviso.

 

The itinerary tries to make understandable the geographical and cultural characters of a remote country, l'Angla, and the cultural events that sees the garden take its origin at the beginning of the twentieth century from the hands of a Protestant pastor and his wife Sigtryggur Gudlaugsson, in tune coll'avvio of a school and an education program that looks at the redemption conditions backward agricultural.

 

The exhibition, organized in three sections, presents inside documents photo-graphic, Audiovisual and a collection of reference materials available in a separate room.

The first section illustrates the geographical character of the place, his membership in the Icelandic territory and its links with a wider geographical horizon. The section also describes the data needed to understand the geological nature of Iceland and historical destiny of a country in which the continuous eruptions have changed unceasingly the face of the land and the development of society.

The second section shows places and experiences that may be useful to understand the Icelandic landscape and its links with the culture of the, by the attraction of symbolic places such as Þingvellir, headquarters of the parliamentary world's oldest (930-1798), until the gaze on contemporary attitudes to the change of the landscape.

The third section illustrates the historical events and the ways in which it was built and still lives the garden Skrudur. Particularly, describes the main steps and the mentality of an operation here that is understandable even by reading the diary (prominently on display in the original) on which, in forty years, Pastor noted his work as an educator and brave farmer in a challenging environment, marked by elements of backwardness. It also documented the work of the group of men and women who in recent years has taken charge of the garden, he rescued from abandonment and returned it in 1996 visits and growing.

Friday 10, Saturday 11, Sunday 12 May 2013 the country's cultural xxiv edition of the International Carlo Scarpa Prize for Gardens, sponsored and organized by the Fondazione Benetton Studi Ricerche, will live its most intense days.

 

The program includes a series of events that allow you to know not only SkrHeather and Nupur, which together form the location in the center of the attention of the scientific and cultural Carlo Scarpa Prize, but also the landscape and the fundamental themes of geography, the his-tory and culture of Iceland.

We are on the shore of Dýrafjördur, one of the fjords that run through the north-western region of the island, a few kilometers from the Arctic Circle.

Skrudur is a vegetable garden, a botanical garden linked to a school of arts and crafts, surrounded solemn behind the curtain of mountains from the hips moved by glacial erosion and downstream from a barren land that slopes down to the sea. Núpur is the name of the great mountain that is above and below that is the microcosm inhabited, with the school, the church and the farm; is home to a community that at the beginning of the twentieth century has challenged the extreme environmental situation with a program to improve the human condition given to the cultivation of the land, education and social elevation of someone who cares.
