AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Clops i Pots is a project created at the Entorns creative residency space. The goal was to
make items made solely from local or waste materials. Wooden boards made from poplar,
locally known as “Pots de Clop”, salvaged and restored from the rubble of old houses, giving
them a second life inspired by the process used by farmers to repair their doors giving them
autonomy and knowledge of their surroundings. They reflect the pragmatism and natural
common-sense present in rural environments. This sparks a debate about the temporality of
materials. Instead of consuming new raw materials, the immediate environment resources are
used, in this way generating sustainable results which are emotionally linked to their context.
Vicent Orts (1995)
Vicent has a degree in industrial design engineering from the University Jaume I, in Castelló. He has worked
with renowned designers, has completed multiple artistic residencies and participated in several exhibitions
worldwide. He currently coordinates the Artefactes project, an archive of self-made tools from the rural world.
Through his practice, Vicent seeks to generate a debate on the temporality of materials by relocating produc-
tion and working with pre-existing items.
