Interdisciplinary project 2008 1. This project is initiated by the Lithography Workshop Eichstaett. It is characterized by an interdisciplinary approach. By collaborating with the Forum for Japanese Language and Society (Munich), an East – West perspective becomes possible. - Media projections and performances will take place in the ‘ramparts garden’ (Bastionsgarten) of Eichstaett. - Panels, graphic art and digital movies shown indoors (in the various exhibition rooms) will present forms of contemporary art inspired by the theme of the project. - The Zen Garden introduces us to the Japanese garden art. It offers a space for the presentation of Oriental expressive forms of visual art, dance, music and literature. - This year’s stay of an ‘artist-in-resident’ at the Lithography Workshop Eichstaett, as well as the annual „TOWN-FILM-IMAGES“ event will also be integrated into this context. There will be an exhibition, a lecture and a (classical) film. - The individual events will link the specificity of both place and medium; thus, a lecture presenting historical and contemporary texts in the Hofgarten Pavilion will situate the location in a new context. 2. The collaboration A. - with the Forum für Sprache und Gesellschaft Japans e. V. (Munich) –- Prof. Dr. Peter Pörtner, Mrs. Inge Merk - with the University Library at the Hofgarten – Dr. Angelika Reich, Dr. Klaus Walter Littger - with the Bastionsgarten, Schloß- und Gartenverwaltung Ansbach - with the Seminary „Collegium Willibaldinum“ – Dr. Josef Gehr, Mr. Hans Lehenmeier - with the Media Center of the Diocese Eichstaett – Dr. Thomas Henke - with the Volksbank Raiffeisenbank Eichstätt – Mrs. Huber allows the linkage of places connected to the history of both the origin and preservation of the „Hortus Eystettensis“ as well as an awareness of spatial relations in Eichstaett. And, above and beyond this, a glimpse of Japanese culture. B. - with students of the European Studies programme at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt Academic project: as part of the courses offered in the European Studies programme at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt by taking part in the academic project, interested students have the chance to contribute tot the Hortus-project. 13 students in their fourth respectively sixth semester work together in small groups like public relations, documentation or advertisement and by this contribute to the Hortus-project. The person in charge on the part of the university is Stefanie Potsch-Ringeisen. For more information about the academic project, visit the homepage run by the students: www.hortusblog.de 3. "Hortus Eystettensis" refers to a garden created in the early 17th Century next to the ‘Willibald’s Castle’ in Eichstaett as well as a collection of 366 large prints of plant drawings engraved on copper-plates. The present garden of Eichstaett has been laid out in the 1990s at the ‘Schmiede-Bastion’ (‘Schmiede’-ramparts; the ramparts or bulwark near the old forge) of the Willibaldsburg (‘Willibald’s Castle’). Its arrangement and combination of plants is following the logic of the arrangement of Basilius Besler’s copper-plates created in 1613. “Both, garden and book, presented an image of paradise.” (Klaus Walter Littger in: „Der Garten von Eichstätt“ / The Garden of Eichstaett, Taschen Publisher, 1999). In this project the Hortus Eystettensis functions as a point of departure for artistic translations attempted by way of contemporary media. The “WanderWunderKammer” (WanderWonderChamber), with its space-limiting concept of “Kammer” (a small, simple room), refers to the possibility of exploring different worlds, starting from the present. These wondrous worlds are attained through one’s own wandering movement. But, it also points out that, walking, we may experience different strata of (historical) time. The long history of Eichstaett offers a look at the “WunderKammer” in public space as well as in a mental and spiritual context. 4.
