Acequias Around the World

Acequias and Water-Inspired Art Around the World During a visit to Spain in 2001, Dutch sculptress Ida M.

Kleiterp was struck by the extraordinary architectural forms which she saw in the mountaineous landscape of the Alpujarras. They were the 'Acequias', a network of reservoirs, channels, and moveable gates, which together formed a remarkable ancient irrigation system. Seven years later, Ida's sculptures, inspired by these ancient forms were brought together in an exciting exhibition presented as a d

ynamic installation. Since 2007, Ida has worked and taught in many countries. Where possible she visited and photographed the local acequias or irrigation systems, many with ancient roots. Wherever she traveled, Ida left behind a sculpture to mark the connection and make a trail.
