Description
Since January 1, 2020, the ZKM has rented an orchard meadow in its close neighborhood. The idea for this came up during the planning of the exhibition »CRITICAL ZONES. Observatories for Earthly Politics«, which, among other things, investigates the extent to which exhibitions can be designed to be climate-neutral.
In February, some members of the ZKM staff went out of the office and into nature for a course in tree cutting on the orchard meadow.
Together with the tree-cutting experts Nele Kemper, Reinmund Häck and their team from the Liegenschaftsamt Karlsruhe, the course participants made a pilgrimage to the ZKM orchard. The two artists Stéphane Verlét-Bottéro and Carmen Bouyer accompanied us on the way from the ZKM to the meadow. With their poetic text »The Dream I Had«, they invited us in advance to a meditative journey to connect with nature. In the meadow, the experts from the real estate office introduced us to the art of tree cutting.
