Europos Parkas meets this spring awaiting the bloom of the Voices Underground’s hillock. The author of this earthwork created in Europos Parkas - American artist Patricia Goodrich. Voices Underground plants the voices of forty-four artists from fifteen countries by sowing the seed of perennial wildflowers and burying bulbs over a three hundred foot site of stretched and spliced audiotapes. The recorded tapes include artists speaking about their artistic journeys, creative process and way of living in English and in their native languages. Although the original of the recorded tape artist has buried in the earth, the visitors of Europos Parkas while walking in the park are invited to listen the copied audiocassettes with the artists’ thoughts. The words of these artists confirm that art connects – art connects us to nature, to society, to ourselves – and that the creation of art produces an energy that extends beyond the particular work itself. Patricia Goodrich says: “Whether one is following the path of flowers, hearing the voices rise from the ground, or reading the text quietly in another part of the earth, viewers are invited to consider how artists – and all people – creating without boundaries enrich our lives and how we are all connected”.
