Background:
OCEA(N) is a traveling exhibit designed to facilitate collaboration between food scientists, fisherman, food activists and communities.
A joint effort between NAMA (North Atlantic Marine Alliance), the Artist Collective SPURSE, and Parsons School of Design, this mobile laboratory facilitates events dealing with cooking, fishing and ecosystem monitoring, as a means of encouraging discussions between key stakeholders in coastal regions about our roles as stewards of our ecosystems.
In 2010 OCEA(N) was part of the Whitney Museum’s exhibition, Undercurrents: Experimental Ecosystems in Recent Art.
