V–A–C Sreda online magazine continues its three-month series of podcasts dedicated to earth and its variety of meanings, associations, and interpretations in culture, art, folklore, and science.
In this episode, we talk about the giant vegetables that are to be found in both art and vegetable gardens. From what seeds can you grow a giant onion? Can vegetables feel? And why do artists like to play with food?
V–A–C Sreda editor Maxim Shibaev discussed these and other questions with Alexander Chusov, a record-breaking gardener; Maria Savostyanova, an art historian and deputy publisher of the Art Focus Now platform; Anastasia Rybakova, an interdisciplinary artist.
