The larder is empty
(21 January 2012)
You might have been following our 15 months long endeavor to fill a larder to then feed 5000 (it was 8000 in the end). The project was called Vorratskammer, and went public during the Über Lebenskunst Festival in Berlin in August 2011. We are now working on a 40 minute documentary - together with Martin König in Berlin, and a publication - together Kristina Brusa, Leipzig. Both to be launched in early summer. And there will be some food again.

10.000 Hours starts 13th May
(23 April 2012)
We are running an International Village Shop as part of the "10.000 Hours" exhibition at Kunstmuseum Thurgau (CH). The title refers to Richard Sennett's suggestion that it takes 10.000 hours to master a craft. We won't have 10.000 hours but the whole summer to work with members of staff from the surrounding Carthusian Monastery to develop a new village product. The Monastery with its vast agricultural, forestry and craft based activities is now run as a self-sustained civic foundation, with sepcialists on storchs, dairy products, schnaps, rare roses ..... The new product and a permanent shop will later enter the museum's permanent collection.
