The autumn storms were faster than us (cat edition).

The autumn storms were faster than us. Now the hut has collapsed. We hoped it would last a little longer. At least until we were back again. But in the end, it doesn't matter. In November, we will build a fire. With the wood from the hut. To close the project, together with the village. We will drink beer brewed from the rye grown in our field. And then it will all be over. But until then, there's still a lot to do.

[PRESERVED // Rågens rike / Finland 2024-25 deals with the question of the identity-creating significance of rye for Finland - especially in the region of Vörå, resp. Ostrobothnia - and how this relationship can be reflected artistically ("Rågens rike" means "Kingdom of Rye" and describes this very region - Finlands granary) The project is hosted by Abramsgården in Vörå (Vöyri) in the Swedish speaking part of Finland, a cultural center in the countryside run by Dorothee Schulte-Basta and Peter Lüttge. Scheibe & Güntzel = Jan Philip Scheibe and Swaantje Güntzel].

Art meets Finnish grainfarming or It takes a village to plant a rye field.
The first bread belongs to the corn spirit.

For various reasons, the harvest of our rye field had to take place without us. So we were all the happier when we arrived in Vörå and were handed the first few kilos of flour, ground from the rye grown on our very project field. Philip, who always carries all kinds of ovens with him, set up his mobile baking oven and, together with Peter, our host, they baked traditional rye bread, which will later be hung up to dry. We offered the first loaf to the corn spirit*. For a good harvest in the coming year. It is now hanging on a pole in the field and we are waiting for the spirit to come and take it.

Acorn Woodpecker searches for a spot in the granary to place a new acorn (they can collect 50,000 or more.)

Time for #Brooklyn #Granary in the #Gowanus

A few images of our rye field from above.

Before we left Vörå (Vöyri) the last time we used the drone to document the field. Our agricultural consultant is not worried about the rye falling over, apparently it will not cause problems for the harvest process.

We are now preparing our upcoming performance for our next stay in Vörå. In the performance we will deal with traditions related to the harvest that were practised in the North.
