Cabriobeet

Since the AIL has not received permission to convert parking spaces into a Grätzloase (AIL Park Lab), the selected parking lot for the period of the Angewandte Festival will now be occupied by a car: the Cabriobeet. The private initiative of filmmaker Christoph Schwarz and neighborhood project from Vienna's 9th district, is a raised herbs garden bed in a yellow Peugeot 306 as well as an art project with an activist message.

Housing in Vienna is becoming more and more expensive, but parking space is being given away. For an unbelievably paltry 10€/month, public space can be privatized with a car. Wouldn’t it be fair to be able to set up a raised bed in a similarly uncomplicated and cheap way? Currently, there is no legal basis for this – but if there is a convertible under the raised bed, all this is no problem.

Public space in Vienna is dominated by cars. Yet we urgently need to reduce CO2 emissions, especially in the transport sector. The city of Vienna knows this, and in its climate roadmap wants to halve the number of car trips in the city by 2030. However, there are no measures to achieve this, and the city is sticking to freeway projects, thus fueling the climate crisis: more roads means more traffic. The Cabriobeet wants to encourage the neighborhood to become active for the traffic turnaround - through informal conversations at the roadside & while gardening together.
