Guardians, ceramic sculptures made in the art class of Barbara Vockenhuber
From 2022 to 2024, a semester-based, artistic-pedagogical process and open-air learning space are being cultivated on the grounds of the HLW Bad Ischl. Together with Sophie Krier, the Garden of Moving Time was developed in dialogue with teachers, students, and related experts and initiatives. The project was produced by < rotor > Centre for Contemporary Art in the framework of Bad Ischl Salzkammergut European Capital of Culture 2024.

Küchenwiese (meadow adjacent to the kitchen) is the name given to an outdoor area that is located between one of the school buildings and the Sissi Park, also riverbank to the Kaltenbach and Traun water bodies. Which kinds and ways of learning can a plot of land host? Which (past & future) forms of life can it enable, protect, and give a voice to? Can it become a space for the collective self-realization of a school community?

The garden is the teacher. What does he teach you?
Rooted in the concept of care, which plays a central role in the student’s education at the HLW (a secondary school for economy, social management and care), the Garden of Moving Times reclaims our relation to Earth-time understood as time to recenter and replenish ourselves – as opposed to time as a measure of production. In the garden, broken relations with vegetal, animal, mineral, and ancestral worlds can be repaired, across time and perceptions.
Underpinning the garden/ classroom design–which chose the analema 8-infinite shape– is the intention of taking the time to care, and healing by embracing natural time.
Sophie and I introduced process-based participatory art, hands-on workshops and seasonal semester exercises, thereby extending our art practice to the school curriculum. Students and teachers were invited to connect to the cycle of life: learning about regenerating soil, and more-than-human companion- and kinship. For instance, visual soil analysis using the vernacular technique of chromatography revealed the presence, and absence, of soil life at the site of the garden-to-be.

Credits The »Garden of Moving Time« was artistically realized by Daniela Brasil & Sophie Krier and created in close cooperation with dedicated teachers, students of the HLW Bad Ischl and numerous experts and project partners from the region and beyond. The project was initiated by Birgit Lurz, Anton Lederer, Margarethe Makovec, Rainer Posch, Karl Rossmann, and Wolfgang Schlag, and was produced by <rotor> Centre for Contemporary Art in the framework of European Capital of Culture Bad Ischl Salzkammergut 2024.
