Sandra Knecht - Chnächt Kloster Fahr

Sandra Knecht – Chnächt Klos­ter Fahr

May 14 – August 18th, 2025

Sandra Knecht (*1968, CH) places food at the center of her artis­tic prac­tice – as a socio­cul­tu­ral act, and as a medium of memory, iden­tity, and shared expe­ri­ence. Her work blends agri­cul­ture, ritual, and con­tem­po­rary art into sen­suous spaces that reflect and ques­tion cul­tu­ral tra­di­ti­ons and social norms around nou­rish­ment.

For ART FLOW, Knecht has deve­lo­ped a series of dishes and pro­ducts in col­la­bo­ra­tion with the agri­cul­tu­ral and culinary teams of Klos­ter Fahr – all local, site-spe­ci­fic, and crea­ted espe­ci­ally for this pro­ject.

In doing so, her artis­tic prac­tice became embedded in the daily rhythm of the working monas­tery – and offe­red a new way to expe­ri­ence how art, cul­ture, and food can meaningfully con­nect

Thanks to the col­la­bo­ra­tion with Fahr Erleb­nis, the pro­ject has been embedded directly within the monas­tery’s working agri­cul­tu­ral envi­ron­ment and crea­ted an imme­diate and tan­gi­ble con­nec­tion bet­ween art, daily life, and agra­rian cul­ture.
