The Eden Project

http://www.edenproject.com/ This is a link to a tourist attraction that has been going on for many years, situated in Cornwall. It is a project where a sustainable environment is developed within a series of domes to create articial climates that support different plant-life and experiences. This relates to my curation project as I have to consider how to create a consistent atmosphere for an audience in a natural environment - within a cave there are many factors to consider for health and safety issues as well as creating an environment that is suitable for the artwork.

"The Eden Project does much more than offer a memorable day out in Cornwall. Eden is also a charity and social enterprise.

As well as creating stunning gardens and laying on fantastic arts and music events, much of our energy goes into:

• running transformational social and environmental projects on our doorstep and around the world
• creating unforgettable learning experiences for students
• doing valuable research into plants and conservation
• making sure we run our operations in the greenest possible way."
