Feld Pavilion is a research-based production company and curatorial agency that commissions artists, architects, and practitioners to explore and redefine Land Art in contemporary culture by developing aesthetic and scientific projects on diverse fields globally, creating models, databases, and public research encompassing a wide range of environmental, social, and cultural themes.

Feld Pavilion is a nomadic exhibition platform, production company, architectural office, curatorial agency, and research unit dedicated to redefining and exploring the trajectory and position of landscape art within contemporary culture.

Feld Pavilion commissions artists, architects, and other practitioners to reflect on and project ideas and works onto designated fields or areas, both on Earth and in the solar system. These fields can vary widely, including a car park in Poland, a forest along the Hudson River, a valley in Jordan, an agricultural field of potatoes in Denmark, or a waste management centre in Taiwan.

Feld Pavilion operates similarly to an architectural office, but  without the constraints of a traditional client relationship, focusing instead on aesthetic and scientific research. For each project, a team of architects and researchers is assigned to the specific field and collaborates with the practitioner to develop the project. The resulting work includes a miniature model of the field, both in physical and virtual formats, and a comprehensive database and catalogue of research related to the project, made publicly accessible via an online platform and publications. This research may encompass soil and water analysis, historical and archival investigations, political and topographical studies, and any other relevant information about the land. By engaging a broad range of collaborators, Feld Pavilion aims to address a wide array of themes, including agriculture, land politics, urbanisation, (neo)colonial history, rare earth minerals, natural disasters, the housing crisis, neolithic mounds, hunter-gathers, primitivism, transportation public arts, geo-mythology, sustainable materials, land conservation, art history, poetry, field recordings, biodiversity, sports, parks, wildlife, lakes, rivers, bogs, oceans, trees, shrubs, branches, insects, archaeology, economy, water purification, energy, waste, decay, flowers, mountains, air, wind, maps, and borders.



Feld Pavilion derives from an urge to reinterpret the notion and position of Land Art as an art historical subject, more relevant today than ever. Land Art, or Earth Art, is an art movement that began in the late 1960s, focusing on creating works within natural landscapes using materials like soil, rocks, and plants. It emphasises the connection between art and nature, often producing site-specific, sometimes ephemeral pieces. Prominent artists like Robert Smithson and Nancy Holt used this approach to explore ecological themes and our relationship with the environment, pushing art beyond traditional exhibition spaces.

As of today; the conception of nature, the landscape and the surrounding environment as a whole has been questioned by numerous thinkers among others Timothy Morton, Graham Harman, Juliane Rebentisch, Slavoj Zizek, Glenn Albrecht, Karan Barad and Vandana Shiva. By the redefinition of that said nature, a rethinking and mediation has to be done for the case of Land Art to progress our common understanding of such and develop new ways of dealing with the urgent ecological crisis and unsustainable relation to the material and mythological resources embodied in the world.

Feld Pavilion will function as a watchdog against ecological disasters, a think tank for rigid institutional power, a hub for research on the land that always changes, a model of the field where nothing grows and a shelter of butterfly wings when the sky starts hailing.
