Kultivator Is founded and run by Mathieu Vrijman and Malin Lindmark Vrijman

Kultivator is an independent art practice, as well as an experimental project platform that initiates and executes projects, exhibitions and workshops investigating our relationship with the landscapes that feed us.

The works ranges from discursive cultivation projects and eco-building experiments to study groups for riding and horsemanship for refugee women or community River-writing sculptures.

An important aspect of all activities are exchange of experiences between people with different backgrounds, and the rest of the biosphere, building on participation and practical hands on work.

In the home location, a rural village on Öland, South east coast of Sweden, Kultivator has an artists in residence, work- and studio spaces, and a community vegetable garden incorporated in a forest pasture.

We share our space with sheep, horses, donkeys, cats, dogs and chickens, working together in both art performances, timber logging and fiber production. Since the beginning in 2005, approximately one hundred and fifty artists, researchers and farmers has stayed and worked at and with the local eco systems on Kultivator’s farm.
