The public Harvest-Workshop takes place together with the
artist Gabriella Hirst and the gardener Sonja Nitz. They will harvest
the autumn plants, fruits and seeds of the Battlefield garden.
Together we will pick, taste and brew the harvest. We will work on the
healing and toxic properties of certain plants in the garden. And we
will investigate their history. We will dig up bulbs, collect rose hips
and do general garden care after summer. All are welcome!
The workshop series has been created as part of artist Gabriella Hirst’s exhibition Battlefield
and takes place once every season. During the duration of the
installation Battlefield in the Kunsthalle Osnabrück, Gabriella Hirst
will conduct several seasonal workshops together with gardeners.
[Seasonal means here: The contents of the workshop always fit the
season]. She teaches plant care techniques and stories. We will share
plant-care techniques and stories as entangled with the upkeep of
language and history-making. There will be a summer workshop
(propagation), an autumn workshop (harvest) and a winter workshop
(protection).
Participation in the workshop is free of charge. The workshop will be
held in English. Translation into German will be provided. Registration
is required at vermittlung.kunsthalle@osnabrueck.de.
The visit of all exhibitions is free of charge for all workshop
participants from 16:00. The exhibitions will be closed during and after
the workshop.
