Landskapet

The Landscape is a link between Moderna Museet and Kultivator, where the latter undertakes to increase biodiversity on a piece of leased land on Öland. There are two copies of the contract. One copy, “attested” by a piece of soil from the leased land, is shown in a glass display in the Museum. The other copy is stored in an identical display at the Kultivator farm, where it is regularly filled with traces or objects from the ongoing activities in the landscape. This display unit will be donated to Moderna Museet after five years. The work, Landscape, can be seen as a performance where the artists’ actions in harmony with the various ecosystems represent the landscape on Öland. Kultivator is an experimental organic farming and art cooperative located in Dyestad on Öland. The group’s practice merges artistic research with developments in alternative farming methods.
