The borderless wild boar

Excursions as field method

In English

Tisdag 17 oktober kl. 14.00-15.00

Konstnärerna Carl Johan Erikson and Karin Willén presenterar hur de använder ”matlagningsaktioner” för att sätta fokus på ett sönderfallande ekosystem, till exempel genom att servera sill fångad nära utloppet för det varma kylvattnet från Forsmarks kärnkraftverk eller korv gjord på vildsvin från samma område. Detta följs av diskussion med Lisa Babette Diedrich (Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet) och Gini Lee (University of Melbourne) och frågor från deltagare. William Kutz modererar seminariet. Det är gratis att deltaga.

Om du vill ställa frågor eller kommentera är det bra om du använder ett headset med mikrofon. Förutom länken här ovanför kan du delta genom att ringa in, skriv till Mia Krokstäde på mia [dot] krokstade [at] cors [dot] lu [dot] se (mia[dot]krokstade[at]cors[dot]lu[dot]se) för information om detta.

Innan seminariet ber Carl Johan Erikson och Karin Willén dig att se Wild boar sausage from Forsmark, 2021 (9:30 min):

Description

The title of our presentation is The Borderless Wild Boar, also the title of a body of work we have exhibit at several art venues in Sweden 2023 and 2022. This exhibition is the frame for our presentation.

The wild boar moves in the borderland between the wild and the tame, between nature and culture. It is an adaptable animal, not averse to establishing itself in urban environments. In humans’ approach to and the idea of the wild boar, mental limits are exceeded - from being an appreciated animal to hunt to a “borderless” pest affecting farmers and private gardens and thus fought against with unconventional hunting methods. The cooking of wild boar meat (wild boar sausage) and explorations of or excursions on a 72 km long wild boar fence on the border of Denmark and Germany, are the starting points for the show The Borderless Wild Boar, aiming at an inherent critique on civilization through a story about existing as humans today, in an ecosystem on the brink of collapse.

Presenters

The artists' Carl Johan Erikson and Karin Willén began their collaboration in 2014 focusing on an existential story revolving around food and about being human in a collapsing ecosystem. Examples on results from previous artistic collaborations include, amongst others, the cookbooks: 10°C - Recept från Forsmarks skärgård (2016) (“10°C - Recipes from the Archipelagos of Forsmark”) and Kokgropar och andra aktiviteter i Forsmarks skogar (2019) (Cooking Pits and Other Activities in the Forests of Forsmark) published by Jon Brunberg Förlag. In a subversive manner, the artists are here applying the format of the cookbook to problematize Western civilization’s view on nature. In conjunction with book presentations, the artists have conducted “cooking actions” where they serve, for example, herring caught near the warm cooling water outlet from Forsmark’s nuclear power plant. To serve a potentially contaminated ingredient, and thereby provide an embodied integrated presentation of existential questions connected to nuclear power and climate, lies at the core of these “cooking actions”.
