Miriam Wiesel, MA, studied art history at the Goethe Universität, Frankfurt am Main. She works as a freelance editor, author, and translator, teaches as a guest-lecturer at ZHdK, Zurich, and lives in Berlin.
In 2004 she co-founded the Institut zur Entwicklung des ländlichen Kulturraums e.V. (Institute for the development of rural cultural areas) in Baruth/Mark and hence has started a new vineyard in South Brandenburg with fungus-resistant grape varieties (since 2007). In 2010 she initiated the Kreuzberger Salon, a monthly discourse platform for urban/rural exchange (migration of people, goods, energy, ideas, etc.) (ongoing).
Publications: Berlin/Berlin (ed.); catalogue of the first Berlin Biennale 1998; Children of Berlin (ed.); catalogue P.S. 1, New York (1999); various articles about art; lectures about “Raumpioniere in ländlichen Regionen” (space pioneers in rural areas), and the “Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership TTIP.”
In 2013 she started a culinaric interpretation of the French Revolutionary calendar inspired by the Physiocrats, so far realized as Menu Fructidor and Repas de Prairial, with Axel Schmidt. Her article “Zeit zum Essen oder die Revolution zu Tisch” (Time to Eat: The revolution at the table) is forthcoming.
Miriam is currently co-curating Himmel und Erde (Heaven and Earth) for the Kunst- und Kulturverein Alte Schule Baruth, a long-term exhibition project dealing with a wild orchard in Brandenburg to raise awareness for the potential of common land with practical Saturdays (pruning, grafting, scything, bee-keeping, etc.), and theoretical Sundays.
