Lecture by Kirsten Swenson organized by Noit Banai, Institut für Kunstgeschichte, Universität Wien, Sabeth Buchmann (IKW) and Marina Grzinic, Post Conceptual Study Program (IBK).

In 1982, the artist Agnes Denes cultivated two acres of wheat at the edge of New York?s Financial District, briefly occupying a landfill formed during the construction of the World Trade Center and slated for development into Battery Park City later that year. In 2015, Wheatfield was restaged in Milan, underwritten by a private developer as part of the renewal of the Porta Nuova district. This talk explores the spatial politics Wheatfield, both historical and recent, and questions raised by replanting an ephemeral installation conceived in specific reference to site and history.
