Gardens as places  for critique, culture and selforganization

The first in a row of Public Picnics takes place in one of the finest wild nature areas on outer Nørrebro. From the plot you can see the elevated train and the high rises in Lundtoftegade. There are growing wild apples and wild raspberries and weeds high enough to disappear into.

In my projects I have explored the possibilities for using berries and fruits from the plot to make food for the participants in the events. This mirrors strategies used by artists as a consequence of them living on the fringe of society. The project also takes up the relation between food production and the city. Anette Sletnes 2007.

Snöleoparden and Henning Frimann built music on the spot with homegrown instruments and an electronic guitar from Pakistan.

BACK TO NATURE
- An Asters plantation by Kevin Lytsen

Asters are treated in a way that keeps them short like 20cm high to fit easily into a window still. If asters are planted out into the garden they will bloom again the coming year, but this time in its original version and can become 60cm and some sorts up to 150cm tall.



Nis Rømer: Free Apples: One of three boxes of apples picked from unregulated public spaces in Tikøbgade,  Krudtløbsgade and Christiania, with individual descriptions of the places and apples.

People from the area helped clean up the garbage that had gathered over the years at the plot. After that we started planting. Here its Katrine and Jesper planting basil. The trick to make them grow is to separate the plants from each other, giving them space to grow.


Ad hoc playground. 


Jesper Åbille planted mint in tires found on the plot (they were brand new). 


Quite a lot of wood were lying around, we put it out in the open to get an overview.
.


After an idea by Camilla Berner, the only intervention we did to the plot was to trample a few paths to open up the plot for more uses. We made a fireplace and built benches with the help of friends and family.


The hole in the fence was fixed to make a nicer entrance in the Hillerødgade end.
