About yesterday.
Thank you all for coming. We all (including the cat) had a blast. Lovers, parents with their kids, a couple on their wedding anniversary and the cat, they all came to sit under the heart in front of the rye field.

Today and tomorrow you can find us at Abramsgården from 3.30 - 5 p.m..
Only that today due to the rain we will be in the barn next to the rye field where you can see the rye through the window.

Abramsgården in Vörå, Alunvägen 3, Vörå, Finland

[PRESERVED // Rågens rike / Finland 2024-25 deals with the question of the identity-creating significance of rye for Finland - especially in the region of Vörå, resp. Ostrobothnia - and how this relationship can be reflected artistically ("Rågens rike" means "Kingdom of Rye" and describes this very region - Finlands granary) The project is hosted by Abramsgården in Vörå (Vöyri) in Finland-Sweden, a cultural center in the countryside run by Dorothee Schulte-Basta and Peter Lüttge.

MEET US TODAY IN FRONT OF THE HEART:

Scheibe & Güntzel
PRESERVED // Rågens rike / Finnland 24-25 / kärlekens rågfalt
as part of Vörådagarna 2025

In the heart of the historic “Rågens rike”, on a 2000 m² rye field at Abramsgården in Andkil, artist duo Scheibe & Güntzel invite you to a unique art experience. Through a site-specific installation and a participatory photo event, they highlight the disappearance of traditional rye fields – and their role as hideaways and meeting spots for loved ones. Hovering above the field is a slowly rotating, glowing red heart. For three days, a bench will be placed beneath the heart, where visitors can sit – alone or together. The artists will photograph these encounters, print the images on-site, and give them to participants as a memory of the summer, the field, and the moment.

3.30 - 5 p.m at Abramsgården in Vörå, Alunvägen 3, Vörå, Finland

Project update: We are back, the rye grew up to 2 meters and the Plaza has officially become a meeting point!

We are back and the rye looks great. It has been a real rollercoaster the last weeks since the rye has fallen over several times after heavy rains but as it looks like most of it has recovered and is standing again. And now the summer wind gently blows the rye which has actually grown almost up to 2 meters.

We had always wanted the main space in the middle of the field (Plaza del Råg) to become a space for the community. A space to meet, to hang out and to just enjoy the rye field. Yesterday was perfect, two neighbours celebrated their birthday on the Plaza and we all dived into the summer. It was marvellous.

We are now preparing for #Vörådagarna 2025 a week of events where the whole community presents itself. Stay tuned, more to come soon.

Things the Golden Records (#Voyager) don´t show - or how I transmitted a sanitation truck into space long before ESAs Blue Danube Waltz

Golden Record / image No. 117

When I was an Artist-in-Science at the European Space Agency - ESA / ESOC in #Darmstadt in 2022 I mainly focussed on our waste culture and how we brought this culture into space (#orbitaldebris). At the same time, I also looked at how we have been turning a blind eye to the waste we produce for decades and continue to do so today. I found it extremely revealing to see that back in 1977, when #NASA made a selection of images to supply the data collection stored on the #GoldenRecords which were designed to inform possible #extraterrestials about the existence of the earth and its inhabitants, the images described many aspects of human existence, but left the reality of our modern life, such as the production of waste in large parts unnoticed.

Which is why I decided to change that and send an extra image into space to be understood as addition to the collection of the 116 diagrams and pictures generated by NASA in 1977 : On October 20th, 2022 the image of a sanitation truck (#JamaicaBay, #NY) from the year 1973 was uplinked through the tracking network of European Space Agency (#ESA) in the direction where the “Golden Records” attached to the NASA Voyager space probes are currently traveling in interstellar space.

We will now see what the extraterrestials will make of it. A sanitation truck floating through space to the beat of the Blue Danube Waltz.
