Feeding the backyard
Feeding the backyard, people and creatures.
Kultivator and students at ANA, May 2015
Kultivator and a group of students from Ölands folkhögskola enter the atelier and backyard of Astrid Noack, Norrebro, Copenhagen. During one week, they activate the place with installations and reflections of the history, the present, and the possible future of the compound. All material used is edible, and found in the local supermarkets and markets in the neighbourhood. The work is presented for the public in the form of a dinner party in the backyard on Saturday the 16;th of May. The dinner guests are picked up from around the area with horse and carriage. The horses are also invited to join the meal, as guests of honor, with special sculptural dishes made for them.

Geophagia. Cake and debate with Sweden´s minister of culture
Geophagia,
the deliberate consumption of earth, soil, or clay
All the concepts of geophagia—as psychiatric disorder, culturally sanctioned practice or sequel to famine—fall short of a satisfying explanation (…) Might it be an atavistic mode of behaviour, formerly invaluable when minerals and trace elements were scarce? Its re-emergence might then be triggered by events such as famine, cultural change or psychiatric disease (…)
A. Woywodt, Medical history of Geophagia.
For world art day 2015, and the debate on art as subject in school, Kultivator serves the cake Geophagia, made of one of the at the same time shittiest and most precious materials there is.
We´re looking forward to a pleasant time with nutritious trace elements, and a discussion on how we create the best conditions for young people, and with them the rest of society, to grow.
