GROWING THE CITY FARM

Liquid Frontiers, Vandasye, City Farm Augarten, Wirtschaftsagentur Wien

22.9.–1.10.2023

The City Farm Augarten is all about organic growth. Since 2012, the initiative in Vienna’s Augarten has been devoting itself to sustainable vegetable and fruit growing in the urban realm and the low-threshold sharing of the corresponding know-how. Inspired by this guiding principle as well as by Joseph Beuys’s concept of “Social Sculpture” with the exemplary, legendary piece “7000 Oaks”, the Vienna design studio Liquid Frontiers and Vandasye have developed a toolbox containing analog and digital tools that enables users to establish and collectively tend offshoots of the City Farm Augarten in new locations around Vienna. A prototype plot in the courtyard of the Festival Headquarters allows visitors to test how this works. Information about further expansion phases is presented inside.
