The second meeting will be held Sunday 16 April at 12 and will be entirely dedicated to the Todolì Citrus Foundation's Citrus Project, with talks by Lucía Muñoz Iglesiascurator of the project, and Mario Cristiani.

La Todolì Citrus Foundation is a non-profit organisation created in 2013 for the study and dissemination of citrus fruits and citrus farming. The Foundation was created by Vicente Todolì in the city of Palmera (Valencia), in an area that had belonged to his family for five generations and was dedicated to the cultivation of citrus fruits, which was in danger of being subjected to the logic of the tourism industry. The Foundation's objective is to create its own citrus fruit collection, currently consisting of more than 400 varieties, preserved and valorised for the purposes of research, dissemination and education in agricultural, environmental, historical, culinary and industrial matters. At the heart of the project is the recovery of the land, nature and tradition, concretised in an orchard that, rather than a succession of varieties, is rather a garden to be walked through and experienced, in which to try to observe time and understand its role in the construction of the rhythms of nature.

Edited by Lucía Muñoz Iglesias, Citrus Project is the exhibition realised for the benefit of the Foundation at the Librairie Marian Goodman in Paris. The exhibition includes a portfolio of works by 14 different artists who have worked closely with Vicente Todolí in his role as pre-eminent curator: Mirosław Bałka, Tacita Dean, Nan Goldin, Paul Graham, Carsten Höller, Roni Horn, Cristina Iglesias, Ragnar Kjartansson, Julie Mehretu, Cildo Meireles, Matt Mullican, Antoni Muntadas, Philippe Parreno and Julião Sarmento. A collection of works that is a tribute to the earth, to its poetry and its materiality, to its romanticism and its pain, to the curiosity of experimentation, to the acceptance of not fully understanding, to the joy of play, to constant research, to repetition and randomness.
