Scheibe & GüntzelThrowback Thursday
Since our last project in Finland has now been completed, I will be sharing images from past events that took place as part of our project series PRESERVED at irregular intervals from now on.
Today is about an intervention we presented while being Artists in Residence in the city of Monheim am Rhein (Germany). PRESERVED // Schwemmland / Monheim am Rhein was realized in 2021 and explored how the land on which the city of Monheim was founded had developed over centuries of interaction with human activity. It investigated which plants grew and have been cultivated, which species have shaped the cultural identity of the region, and what traces of them could still be found today. The focus lied on creating a bridge between the past and present.
We visited Monheim in spring, summer and autumn. In our „harvest“ chapter we presented an intervention to honour the Rhenish German coldblood, a horse which has played an elementary role in the development of the Rhineland region. The Reuter family which still breeds Rhenish German horses at Haus Bürgel provided us with Eberhard, a back then 11-year old chestnut. We took a ride with him in the "Berliner Viertel", the former "Neue Heimat", right through the pedestrian zone. We recalled that until recently the area was used for agriculture.
The project was realized within the frame of Kunst-Camp at Kunstwerkstatt Turmstrasse in Monheim am Rhein.
