We cordially invite you to the Autumn Assembly from 26 to 28 September 2025 to celebrate the season of abundance together – as the harvest of months of work, care and patience. Artistic, culinary and agricultural practices come together in a festival of abundance and a moment of pause, in which we reflect on how we preserve and share.

On Friday, we will open at 12:30 pm with a tour of the exhibition, before Maj Hasager, rector of the Malmö Art Academy (Sweden), gives insights into socially engaged art in a lecture. Artist Astrid S. Klein will share her project THE POWER OF THE KOLA – Negotiating the Living and invite visitors to listen to her audio piece TO THE RED SOIL together. From 5 pm, artist Seraina Grupp will be in the Taste Library on the first floor, inviting visitors to taste, exchange and share stories. In the evening, things will get loud with the participatory cooking performance Go-Go Sourdough Udon Dancing Platform by artist Byungseo Yoo.

Saturday begins with the harvest ceremony Huatia – a traditional Peruvian cooking of potatoes in the earth performed by artist Daniela Zambrano. For this, we will walk together from M.1 to the nearby garden of Wiebke Habbe (please dress appropriately for the weather). Back at M.1, around 15:00, the documentary film Das Terrassenwunder von Peru (The Terrace Miracle of Peru) by Kellinghusen-based director Erika Harzer will be shown. Coffee and cake by Marle Rudolph will be served. In the second part of the day, artist Maya Minder will explore our oceanic relations in a cooking workshop with seaweed. In the evening, Maya Minder and sound artist Dominique Leroy will combine the sounds of cooking with the aromas of food in the Sonified Kitchen. Artist Seraina Grupp will also be available for discussion in the Taste Library from 17:00–20:00.

Food will be served while supplies last. Vegan options are available.

On Sunday, the assembly leaves the exhibition space and moves to the market square for the Pellkartoffeltage Hohenlockstedt. There you can expect insights into the exhibition, information about the art projects by Seraina Grupp, Byungseo Yoo, Daniela Zambrano and the results of the upcycling work by artist Myu Hanaoka, as well as other small samples. At 3 pm, the day will come to a close in the exhibition hall of M.1 with the second opening of the art project Der unsichtbare Garten (Hohenlockstedt) by artist Camilla Berner and the new bouquets from July and August, which were designed and photographed by local participants from Hohenlockstedt and the close proximity. The bouquets were created by Dorothea Buck, Gesche Cordts, Silke Frauen, Frauke Greuel, Julia Günther-Borstel, Wiebke Habbe, Susanne Heimrath, Dorothea Heinrich, Daniela Mandel, Anke Mellin, Isolde Nagel, Ines Pretzlaff, Gretel Rüping, Christine Sarau, Gunda Schanze, Astrid Senne-Sachau, Carola Schülke, Marie-Louise Schümann, Thekla Solleske, pupils from class 5a at the Wilhelm-Käber-Schule Hohenlockstedt, Birgit Warmuth and Katrin Rickert.

The exhibition space will showcase the fruits of the ongoing projects:
Lene Markusen continues her wall drawing, Camilla Berner's Der Unsichtbare Garten (Hohenlockstedt) continues to grow – enriched with images and plants from the summer. Seraina Grupp, together with Marle Rudolph, is expanding the taste library with preserves made from surplus produce from the Springhoe organic farm. Marta Musso & Riikka Tauriainen present the results of their Plankton Studio in film format – microscopic finds from the waters around Hohenlockstedt.

Autumn Assembly Workshops

All workshops take place in the exhibition rooms of M.1, in English with whispered translation. Registration by email to Ronald Kolb: rk@arthurboskamp-stiftung.de

Tuesday, 23 September, 18:00
Open meeting in the Taste Library with Seraina Grupp

What plants grow in your area – and how do they taste?
Do you have recipes for preserving, drying, fermenting or pickling?
Or would you like to swap, taste and share your knowledge with others?

Then come along and become part of the Taste Library! We are looking for recipes, memories, experiments and preserves made from local plants – whether from your garden, the roadside or your neighbourhood.

Dates for participating and exchanging ideas on site at M.1
23 September 2025, 18:00

Koji workshop with Byungseo Yoo
Introduction to Japanese noble mould – the basis for miso, sake & co.
We will cultivate koji (traditionally with rice) as well as koji obtained from potato peels to produce a variety of foods: non-alcoholic ‘proxy wine’, shoyu, potato miso and gluten-free gochujang. Koji (Aspergillus oryzae) is a thread-like fungus that is indispensable in Japanese cuisine and responsible for the umami flavour and deep aroma of staple foods such as miso, soy sauce and sake. It has had a profound impact on modern gastronomy and inspired innovative fermentation processes worldwide. By exploring this humble, transformative mould, participants will learn how koji can change our perception of food and how it is produced.

Kimchi workshop with Byungseo Yoo
Kimchi Manifesto – Hohenlockstedt
The Kimchi Manifesto was created during the 2024 workshop at the Musée d'Art de Pully. It treats kimchi fermentation not simply as food preparation, but as an ongoing form of speculative storytelling and collective co-creation. In Hohenlockstedt, the manifesto takes on a local character by using cabbage instead of napa cabbage and drawing inspiration from Japanese tsukemono to make ‘quick kimchi,’ which ferments for only 30 minutes to three days instead of the traditional two to twelve weeks. As we prepare kimchi together, new narratives around this vibrant, fermented food emerge in the workshop.

Thursday, 25 September, 19:30
The Pickers (Director: Elke Sasse, DE/GRC/PRT 2024, 80 min.)
Film screening as part of the LETsDOK Documentary Film Days Schleswig-Holstein

The bouquets are by Dorothea Buck, Gesche Cordts, Silke Frauen, Frauke Greuel, Julia Günther-Borstel, Wiebke Habbe, Susanne Heimrath, Dorothea Heinrich, Daniela Mandel, Anke Mellin, Isolde Nagel, Ines Pretzlaff, Gretel Rüping, Christine Sarau, Gunda Schanze, Astrid Senne-Sachau, Carola Schülke, Marie-Louise Schümann, Thekla Solleske, pupils of class 5a at the Wilhelm-Käber-Schule Hohenlockstedt, Birgit Warmuth and Katrin Rickert.

• Wall drawing Ecological Dramaturgy by Lene Markusen
  A growing mural that picks up on the encounters of the Assemblies and documents them artistically on two walls in M.1.
• Taste Library by Seraina Grupp
  Local flavours from gardens, fields and forests are collected and tastes, stories and encounters from the surroundings of M.1 are shared.
  The Taste Library is open on Friday and Saturday, 17:00–20:00
  Dates for participation and exchange on site at M.1 are 23 September 2025, 18:00 and 21 October 2025, 18:00. Registration is requested: rk@arthurboskamp-stiftung.de
