[EN] 4m2 is a project by Vladislav Curcin which combines art and permaculture practice in Wastl garden of nadine.
The project is aimed towards artist’s self-education in permaculture, application of its techniques in micro-urban area, and sharing.
The artistic choice is to observe and interact with soil’s and plants’ conditions. The impressions from these processes and the reflexions arising from a textual research are material for a short film and audiovisual performance.
The plant planting method used in this project is the companion planting. The use of chemical pesticides and herbicides is rejected. The use of organic herbicides and pesticides is not. The only fertilizer is compost. All vegetables are grown to be shared. All visitors of Wastl are free to pick up ripe vegetables from the field.
4m2 project finishes when last vegetable from it is eaten. Permaculture practice of the artist continues…
The garden residency space Wastl 2012 is part of the European project Resilients and has been made possible with support from the European Culture Programme 2007-2013.
