Feldversuche Symposia
Annual art symposia for city, agriculture and food; Vienna
Initiated and curated with Nikolaus Eckhard, Valentin Fiala, Lisa Jäger; since 2021
Feldversuche is an annual art symposium, happening since 2021 at the borders of the city of Vienna. We invite selected artists to live and work at the community farm ‘Kleine Stadtfarm’ in the 22nd district of Vienna. A panel discussion and various workshops during the symposium ask about the possibilities and needs of a social-ecological transformation of our food system and city development and what part initiatives like the community farm could play within this change. The exhibition at the end of the symposium shows the artistic works that were developed during the 3-weeks-stay at the farm dealing with the topics of city, urban growth, urban agriculture, food systems and environmental protection.
