I am pleased to announce that my current project “Der Kulturgarten” has been awarded the 2023 Work Contribution of the Innerrhoder Art Foundation. The ceremony will take place on 11 November 2023 at 4 pm in front of the town hall in Appenzell. Everyone who has nothing planned for that day is invited.
“The multi-layered and sustainable project aims at transforming a piece of land in Appenzell into a field of experimentation that on the one hand allows for a profound reflection of our relationship with nature and on the other hand redefines the artistic intervention itself: the artist as care-taker and impulse-giver – with the explicit intention to change our way of dealing with the world, precisely nature and culture, in a togetherness. In “Kulturgarten”, Roswitha Gobbo links her previous artistic realisations and strategies to initiate a community that participatively and democratically designs and maintains a place where natural biodiversity and individual creativity are respected and become as visible as effective as equally important fields of social action.”
