POMPUJ! Weekend
PUMP! Weekend
Pump! is an art cooperative budding within Biennale Warszawa since February 2020. The name of the cooperative brings to mind water and more broadly, life-giving artistic energies which we want to pump into the social circulation of ideas. At the same time, it alludes both to the area of our activities and working methods – at Pump! we put emphasis on grass-roots activities, pumped with enthusiasm of the cooperative members.
Through experiments conducted on a small scale, we explore and test low emission agricultural techniques for indoor use which require a minimal water supply – hydroponics and aeroponics, as well as other methods of sustainable urban gardening.
PUMP! Cooperative
The project continues the “Art of the Cooperative” programme curated by Kuba Szreder. We operate thanks to the support of Biennale Warszawa and the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw.
The first project of the Pompuj! Cooperative is building and exhibiting a working hydroponic installation. It consists of several modules for cultivating plants and edible flowers within a closed water circulation. Soon, the installation will be displayed to the public, and for now, you can visit it with us online!
