Harvest time at the open air studio

it was last fall
when nature crashed
into an artist’s studio-house
and ruined the whole
roof and left
it without a roof

and now the artist did
similar things
crashed into that very nature
with all her things

declared vineyards
to her studio place
where she would do
a field research titled
the quest
for the vinedresser ace

agri meets culture
bio is diversity
join the harvest
wear good shoes
and all the worries
will be gone
and this is the truth

vineyard is workoutyard
collecting is fun
winzerjause is tasty
berries can be yours

Glyptophilia – an installation in public space

“Glyptophilia” is the title of my latest installation in public space, amidst square kilometers of grands crus vineyards, at 48.48881 N / 15.66187 E. It’s a monument to knowledge and its preservation over millennia, but it’s also a place for contemplation in case you’re in the mood for reflection.

Despite its camo outfit – from far, the piece resembles a hut – the exposition of a series of baked clay tablets carrying elements of language – which become visible through horizontal slits as soon as you get close – gives a hint what might be going on here.

A thousand clay tablets, bound into weighty books, destined for eternity. Wait for new moon to see the librarian!

Note: There is a series of live events and zoom events planned to take place at the Glyptophilia site over the coming months and years. For current schedules and detailed programmes please come back to this page frequently.
