Summary:
Irene Kopelman’s work explores the parallel worlds of artists and researchers. In 2012, she applied for a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship, “an opportunity that could ignite endless ideas”. This book is the result of the work she produced during visits to the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama. Without formal scientific training, Kopelman hoped to achieve an understanding of methods in field biology, and contacted three researchers to assist as interlocutors: Stuart J. Davies (forest ecology), Owen McMillan (adaptive variation), and Bill Wcislo (animal behaviour). She replicates the forms of woody vines, mangrove roots, and randomly scattered crab pellets.

Summary:
L'épopée de la famille Vilmorin commence avant la Révolution française. Philippe de Vilmorin, fils d'agriculteur, se passionne pour les plantes et invente en plein Paris le commerce scientifique des graines. Pendant plus de 200 ans et sur six générations, la famille est à la pointe de la recherche agronomique et horticole en France. Pour leurs travaux et par passion pour les végétaux, elle constitue un herbier étonnant, le seul du genre arrivé jusqu'à nous. Cet herbier témoigne de l'activité industrielle et scientifique autour de la sélection des semences. Il a bien failli disparaître à la fin du siècle dernier mais l'enthousiasme des Verriérois l'a sorti de l'anonymat. La commune de Verrières-le-Buisson, terre des Vilmorin de 1815 à 1966 s'est attachée à valoriser ce patrimoine exceptionnel. En 2006, «l'herbier Roger de Vilmorin » qui comprend quelque 50 000 planches botaniques, dont un herbier dédié à Parmentier, une importante collection de blé, des aquarelles du Japon, un album d'iconographie de légumes… a été classé Monument historique.
