Interview: Amy Franceschini
Amy Franceschini (b1970) founded Futurefarmers in 1995 as a
design studio and a residency programme, while she was working in corporate
America as a designer. Having grown up torn between two ideologies – chemical
farming and a more Rudolf Steiner-based approach – her work often initiates
dialogue between those with opposing views. Working on projects across the
globe, Franceschini and three fellow Futurefarmers are currently involved in
Seed Journey, a project based in Oslo, which is travelling to the UK for a
residency at Delfina Foundation, London, and Artes Mundi 7 (at the National
Museum Cardiff, 21 October 2016 – 26 February 2017), as one of the six
nominated artists for the £40,000
prize.
Studio International met with Franceschini at Delfina Foundation to talk
about her atypical background, Futurefarmers, and Seed Journey.
