Künstlerisches Projekt SCHULTORPARASITEN
In the LVA Schultorparasiten we will use spatial impulses - artistic-architectural interventions, small changes, playful alienations - around the school gate to make this area somewhat fairer, more sustainable and healthier.
We see the school gate and the educational landscape before and behind it as an indicator for the ethical, pragmatic, philosophical content and nature of our society. Everyday life, everyday objects and everyday spaces give form to actions and spaces of experience in a mostly subtle way. Especially the ordinary is often invisible to us. Here, art and artistic design processes can function as a strategy of visualizing different worlds of experience and of testing posibilities. With this approach of speculative exaggeration, we want to develop and expose ‘Schultorparasiten’ based on the everyday experiences of pupils of different schools in the Bildungsgrätzl Ebner-Inklusiv-Eschenbach.
The first third of the LVA is dedicated to getting to know the Bildungsgrätzl as well as the life and experience worlds of various pupils. In the second third, a competition will be held in which pupils inside act as ‘Bauherr’. In the third part, a project will be realized in a 1:1 conversion.
These are the questions that concern us:
- Where do the pupils and teachers come from in the morning? How do they arrive? What is the difference between inside and outside? To what extent is the school gate area a social meeting place and living space in the city? It is important to understand educational spaces from the perspective of children and adolescents and also to keep an eye on social diversity, such as socio-economic differences and different physical conditions, and to sharpen our awareness of them.
- Which established ways, new possibilities and creative processes can use to react to ecological problems in the school environment, the decline in biodiversity, the massive consumption of resources? - We work with the "viable design principles for sustainable lifestyles" of permaculture. It is a question of recognising our responsibility, then acting to change long-term behaviour patterns.
- We are interested in a sensual, movement oriented, forward-looking education. We enable children and young people to work in their environment and to react positively to today's crises and to find solutions by taking them seriously as ‘Bauherren’.
- School gates have their place in the action spaces and everyday structures of children and young people. ‘Schultorparasiten’ demonstrate this by extrapolating these experiences.

About School Gates and Bildungsgränzel
In the organization of education and city, different actors are responsible for schools, often with almost impermeable borders. This can be seen, for example, in the school gate, where responsibilities change, or in the everyday barriers to the practice of school concepts, be they structural, pedagogical or administrative in nature. School gates are architectural manifestations of these thresholds and also symbols of access and exclusion, for indoors and outdoors.
The Bildungsgrätzl Ebner-Inklusiv-Eschenbach in Währing has a particularly large number of school gates. Around 2000 children and young people go to school here. Since 2018, seven schools have been networked with three kindergartens and two associations in Bildungsgrätzl Ebner-Inklusiv-Eschenbach. With the idea of the Bildungsgrätzl, Vienna has created an administrative framework for bottom-up processes of networking and cooperation (although the resources for this must essentially come from the network itself). The aim of this development of communal educational landscapes is the networking of educational spaces and institutions in order to make educational work open and inclusive in relation to urban districts and to lower the effectiveness of barriers.
Dates*
*The LVA finds is a cooperation with schools from the Bildungsgrätzl Ebner-Inklusiv-Eschenbach. This requires some flexibility on our part with regard to the timing, as there may be delays, especially at the beginning of the semester.
