In the project Nature Culture Reserve Marhult, artists, researchers, and other contributors are invited to relate to the illegal waste dump at Marhult (Uppvidinge). The dump is one of the 26,000 risk-classified contaminated sites in Sweden that, according to the Swedish Environmental Agency, poses a significant risk to humans and the environment. The Nature Culture Reserve Marhult is initiated by artist Timo Menke, who invites artists and other actors to develop the reserve as a self-organized platform. The project is implemented process-based throughout the entire triennale and maintains transparency in its process through meeting places, labs/workshops, and manifested events where archaeologists, ecologists, authors, artists, and researchers can meet and share experiences regarding Marhult and other contaminated sites around Småland.
