“COLTIVANDO –community garden at Politecnico di Milano” is a project coming from the successful experience of “C’è spazio per tutti/There’s room for one more”, an event that took place in November 2011 at the Milano Bovisa Durando campus of Politecnico di Milano, Italy, with the purpose of opening to the inhabitants of that area the public spaces of the university with a series of “toolkit”, aiming at understanding, observing and enjoying a public space, with the help of “esterni” and of the European research program “Human Cities”.

This year, in the framework of the documenta(13), one of the greatest exhibitions of modern and contemporary art in Europe a Time Bank was found. Is a small wooden hut (as most of the artworks shown this year in the d13 Kassel park area), a rather colorful exhibition named Time/Bank (by e-flux: Julieta Aranda and Anton Vidokle) takes place. Inside the little hut (like those little houses upon which brothers Grimm used to write), a series of exchanges can be read/experienced/seen.
