Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LXXIII

THE END

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LXXII

14th of May: it’s done. this is almost everything that happened during the past weeks. This is “excperience” is still in the form – it must be, everything happened not to me but to the form. So it’s not gone, just because we cannot see it anymore. It’s been a phantastic time. thanx!

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LXXI

14th of May, last Day: And this is all it’s made of. So you may experience it yourself…

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LXX

14th of May, last Day. And even this kind of landscape has its “abstract art seconds”

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LXIX

14th of May, last Day experience

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LXVIII

14th of May, last Day

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LXVII

14th May: who says this is not a landscape? there is grass… And can’t you see the hills and the woods and….

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LXVI

14th of May, last day: the pictures of the experience, taken throughout the weeks, build a new landscape. It’s a painted, a built landscape, no nature, but then it’s very “realistic” isn’t it.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LXV

14th of May: the grasses’ new home. Just grass, no art?

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LXIV

14th of May: the grasses’ new home. Just grass, no art.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LXIII

13th of May: almost done

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LXII

13th of May

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LXI

13th of May: this is where it all began. But then, there have been a hell of a experience in between.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LX

13th of May

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LIX

13th of May: interesting to see. Even now there are new landscapes to come. This looks more like a winter scene to me

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LVIII

13th of May: new experiences, the pain of leaving

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LVII

13th of May: Still beautiful. Still art. Still experience.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LVI

13th of May: Grass is moving out, experience stays.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LV

13th of May: four weeks after I received the form and started to wait for the grass to grow, I have to seperate form and grass again.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LIV

13th of May: four weeks after I received the form and started to wait for the grass to grow, I have to seperate form and grass again.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LIII

13th of May: Still don’t know what flower this could be. Isn’t that sad?

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LII

13th of May

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow LI

13th of May: As if it knew it’s time had come. It becomes hay or I don’t know what.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow L

7th of May: unfortunately you cannot touch it. I did! It’s fur.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow IL

7th of May: it’s more like some sort of fur, nature still, but different to normal grass, isn’t it?

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXXXVIII

4 of May:
did I say grass?

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXXXVII

4 of May: it’s still changing of course, it’s going wild in a way. Usually this kind of grass is cut after a while, so it would look nice and tidy. This doesn’t, couldn’t even, because there is nothing I do about it. I just see it grow.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXXXVI

3rd of May: this reminds me of the space needle in Seattle and of course: “Men in Black” or more serious Flushing Meadows – Corona-Park, Queens, USA – you remember? It has been build for new experiences in Technology. Not so far from forms of steel, is it? you don’t remember? Well have a look then.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXXXV

3rd of May. Interesting enough: if you stand in front of the piece you definately want to touch it. And the best is: you are allowed to. Feels great.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXXXIV

3rd of May

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXXXIII

3rd of May: Steel and Nature, nothing to worry about.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXXXII

3rd of May: Nina Kluth’s landscape is jealous… so much is happening down there

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXXXI

3rd of May

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXXX

3rd of May: time run so fast. It’s almost done. Amazing how reality differs from the original idea. Who could have thought of exactly this picture before?

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXXIX

26th of April:
surprise surprise, there are flowers, too.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXXVIII

23rd of April: now words, no ideas, just this

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXXVII

23rd of April

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXXVI

23rd of April: how come grass doesn’t grow straight up? it does in the first place. but then? it’s looking for the sun. It doesn’t like heavy rain, okay, let’s say too much water.

so the whole thing is not just about a form, made of steel, some mould and some seeds, add a little water and that’s it – no, the sun is in, too. So what if this experience was made in winter? Would it look the same? I doubt it.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXXV

22nd of April:
Something is changing during the night. You don’t believe it?
Then wait and see.

Part of the idea is, that you cannot see everything but that doesn’t mean it’s not there. The experience this form made by travelling around the world is existing, though you cannot see it by looking at the form today…..only at night

Landscapes – Seeing the gras grow XXXIV

21st of April:
And even from above it looks as if the grass grew

Landscapes – Seeing the gras grow XXXIII

21st of April:
this looks like jungle to me

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXXII

21st of April:
It is still about time, changes, ongoing preocesses – but there are also experiences you haven’t thought of before. This gras, this nature is starting to take over the whole project. It sometimes seems as if in a few days there won’t be nothing but grass, the rest…all gone

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXXI

20th of April:

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXX

20th of April

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXIX

20th of April:
This is art

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXVII

20th of April

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXV

20th of April:
This is art, no nature, could something like this really be not made by human being?

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXIV

20th of April:
looks like its growing strong

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXII

19th of April:
this is amazing, I mean it looks as if it’s kind of a ship in a sea of grass. Well, or something else like that.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XXI

just see

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XX

19th of April:
no words

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XIX

miracles happen over night

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XVIII

18th of April:
of course it doesn’t sleep at all

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XVII

18th of April:
it’s beautiful – whether its art or not

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XVI

Doesn’t look that impressing from this side, right?

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XV

The other landscape

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XIV

18th of April
Again the view on the two landscapes – just checking what is different.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XIII

18th of April – different views

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XII

18 th of April – different views.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow XI

18th of April
After five days (there are no pictures about the first three days) some seeds decided to become grass. Amazing. now time has a different dimension again. It seems to be real fast that the grass grew.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow X

17th of April

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow IX

17th of April
It surprises me every day. How come the flowers grow and the grass doesn’t? And what kind of flowers are they?

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow VIII

Communication, Interaction – this is a big part of the experience. In this case the growing landscape on the ground starts communicating with the painted landscape (“Bleicherhof”, 2004, by Nina Kluth) up on the wall. I guess there will be more and more similarities the stronger the grass will grow. Especially in color. We’ll see.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow VII

It’s real. You cannot leave it alone. It needs watering, applause, caring. It’s a working process. this is part of the experience as well. It changes everytime, but it needs interaction to do so.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow VI

From the outside nothing happened. It’s still an industrial form, some stains. No grass. Who tells you that there is or will be any grass ever?

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow V

Somehow nature becomes art by watching it. This picture of the seeds and the mould remindds you of a painting, well structured, colors, brush strokes, light nothing else. And it’s photography of a landscape as well. Within the form.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow IV

Nature and industry. Right now it seems as if industry is more powerful than nature. But let’s wait and see.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow II

Will it grow? Really? Those questions are part of the idea of this experience. We are not used to this slowness. We are used to speed, time pressure, quick decisions. Things like that have a great importance in every days life. So time means a lot. How could any one waste so much time by waiting for the seeds to develop and become grass? Is’t that stupid?
Well I’d say, what comes out is nature – so how could it be stupid. And…there is motion every second. Only because we cannot see everything, that doesn’t mean that nothing changes.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow III

16th of April
Something is happening. First green on grey floor. Well I think there are some summer flowers in the form as well – this is no grass.

Landscapes – Seeing the grass grow

day three, 15th of April
I put garden mould in the form. A lot – about 30 or 40 litres. After that, grass seeds followed.
The whole idea is to build a different kind of landscape, not by painting or other. But by really letting something grow. Letting it grow in Ricardos form gives the seeds and the grass a different meanign. It becomes art on the one hand. On the other hand, the form becomes something normal, something you use in everydays life again. So the “real world” starts communicating with the “art World” – with the piece, that usually is presented in a museum.
Also this experience is about time. About how it feels like to wait. There will be more to say about all of this later on.
