The Minutes
The Minutes of the Hildegard von Bingen Society for Gardening Companions, vol. 1 (Spring 2022)
The Minutes is an artist book in the guise of a gardening newsletter (or an allotment bulletin in the guise of a conceptual art project) that gathers some recent work by members of the Hildegard von Bingen Society. The publication is designed as a garden, with its spatial and imaginary nooks and crannies, its tools and sheds, its cycle of growth, decay, and dormancy.

The Minutes of the Hildegard von Bingen Society for Gardening Companions, vol. 2 (Spring 2023)
The Minutes is the society’s irregular almanac, a shared creative space in print-form that connects people across time and space no matter what their practice is. It features poetry, artwork, conversation, performance documentation, research, process notes, and rituals, and thinks about stretchy time, forms of embodiment, the scale of intimacy, the environment beyond the ‘natural’, and gardening as teaching, teaching as gardening.
