RHIZOMA is a project that seeks to demystify the rural environment, based on the image of the Basque farmhouse. For a month, within the framework of Mugak Architecture Biennial, the museum Chillida leku welcomed experts, researchers and the general public to open a space for reflection on what it means to build or not to build and, above all, to inhabit our post-rural reality. Beyond its mystical and identity-based meaning, the Basque typology is presented as a machine, a productive entity in a natural environment, a device that has woven the socioeconomic structure of the territory for centuries. In this reality, circularity and necessity take precedence over rural aesthetic postulates, where through an ARTIFACT, various dialogues and performances, the sacredness of the Zabalaga farmhouse is broken, brought out of oblivion by the artist Chillida, returning it 500 years later to its productive reality.
