KUNST KEBAB: Exploring Food And Art In Social Space
2-16 December, 2017 Museumsquartier U2 U Bahn Station Passage 1010 Vienna
Kunst Kebab, an international art exhibition, which focuses on the relation of food and art will take place in a Kebab Restaurant in the U2 Underground Passage in the Museum Quartier, Vienna. The restaurant, which is run by a Turkish immigrant, will be a site for artistic interventions and it will include artworks of different media such as digital printing, photography, installation, painting, video and performance. The exhibition is hosting 13 artists from different backgrounds and it is curated by Deniz Beşer and Deniz Güvensoy.
Artists: Žarko Aleksić, Fatih Aydoğdu, ONA B., Boris Beja, Deniz Beşer, Elisa Jule Braun, Deniz Güvensoy, Jelena Micić, Khaled Ramadan, Kamen Stoyanov, Katharina Swoboda, Serra Tansel, Joshua James Zielinski The main focus of the project is to discover the role of food, eating and tasting in contemporary art. Another important focus is to investigate the ways to transform the meaning and function of social spaces using art practices. Turning a Kebab restaurant into an art venue is both a challenge and a new opportunity to create new encounters in a new context.
