Distant Landscape / MVR L’Espluga de Francolí_Conca de Barberà, 2013.

L’Hort del MRV és un projecte en procés que es va iniciar el febrer de 2013 i que ha estat dissenyat per Distant Landscape. El pati del Museu s’ha convertit en hort per establir un diàleg entre les coleccions del Museu i la pràctica de la agricultura.

As a part of its expansion, the MRV plans to improve and restore its land. The intent of this project is to transform the land adjacent to the Museum in a destination to visit and at the same time acting as a link between the collections of the museum and the practice of horticulture.

The magnificent buildings of the MVR and surrounding frame walls make up the space, formerly Horta de la Vall from late twelfth century.

Many usually invisible features in orchards will be explained to visitors while moving through this landscape of agricultural production, as ot is the value of local and seasonal agriculture.

The installation exposes the garden crops as jewelry, works of art or pieces of a collection inside illuminated glass cases.
