Plommetrærne på Alrek is a participatory, durational art project developed by Bergen based artist, Amber Ablett and commissioned by Kunst i offentlege rom for Alrek Helseklygne.
The work brings together a community of people from within and outside Alrek Helseklynge, to plant, care for, pick fruit and share recipes around five plum trees planted in the gardens of Årstadveien 17.
Alrek Helseklynge is a partnership of University of Bergen, Bergen Kommune, NORCE, Høgskulen i Vestlandet, Haraldsplass Diakonale Sykehus, Vestland fyklekommune (tannhelsetjenesten), Helse Bergen, Folkehelseinsituttet and VID vitenskapelige høyskole. By working together it aims to create innovative health and care solutions for the whole person, with the help of outstanding research and education, full-fledged practice arenas and interdisciplinary collaboration.
This art work looks at forming a collaborative community with all those that have connections to the building. The invitation to join the project is to students, staff, researchers, administration, patients, canteen staff, the neighbours to the building and beyond. This community expands the idea of collaboration, that is key to the vision of Alrek, to include all those who work in and share the building and who will be part of the everyday life of the building.
