land use poetics
What is concealed behind the physical planning term ”land use”? This is
the question in this cross-disciplinary project, engaging ten artist and
researchers from around the world. In an intense, four day workshop, and
through the use of arts-based “methods” or poetic practice, the group will
examine how we humans affect the land we have at our disposal. The area of
investigation is delimited to the intensely exploited and at the same time
historically complex landscape between Malmö and Lund. Here, agriculture,
shipping, and industry, already left non-erasable imprints. Today,
however, also entirely different kinds of activities leave traces and
dislocate meanings. Through different forms of spatial engagement – bus
tours, walks, gathering of specimens, study visits and discussions – these
traces and meanings will be explored, scrutinized and mapped out. The
result – or the more or less sketchy findings – will be on show at the
Museum of Sketches in Lund.
The show will open Sun March 22 at 2 pm, followed by an open panel
discussion on landscape change and arts-based research at 3 pm.
