demo station: Ambiente Acqua – Digital Herbarium Stories on show
Talk
Ambiente Acqua presents "Digital Herbarium Stories on show".
Digital Herbarium Stories on Display” stems from research carried out thanks to the PNRR call (TOCC incentive) on the Erbario della Flora Padana preserved at Casa Gola, a Parco Agricolo Sud Milano park point. The 50 botanical watercolors painted by Andrea Tarella transform this heritage into a visual journey through species of springs, meadows, and woodlands of the Po Valley. The digitization of the herbarium makes the work accessible to everyone: www.ambienteacqua.it/digital-herbarium-stories.

The event takes place on Rirkrit Tiravanija’s installation untitled 2026 (demo station no. 9). The stage-like structure invites people to “demonstrate” something. The combination of the words demo and station in the work’s title refers respectively to the abbreviation of demonstration—understood both as a protest and as a presentation of someone’s talent or hobby —and to station, that is, an accessible place where such “demonstrations” can occur. For the duration of the exhibition, the installation provides a space for daily public activations.
During the exhibition, photographs and video recordings may be made in which you could be recognizable. By attending, you consent to these recordings being used to communicate the exhibition.
Activities during the demo station activation are managed by the association. For any information, please contact them directly.
