comidas criollas

(the laboratory of the new concept of the art colony)

Opening: 30 September 2008, Tuesday 7 pm

Az intermédia szokásos nyári művésztelepe kiheverte azt a krízist amelyet az okozott, hogy Halász Pétert többé már nem lehet meghívni. A kötelező nyári művészelep koncepciója kiürült, majd megújult, és magát a meghívást tűzte ki céljául: a 33 éves korában elhunyt Gordon Matta-Clark FOOD projektjének emlékére – és azt szerényen comidas criollas-nak nevezve – a művésztelep két hetének minden délutánját főzéssel és az estéket annak az elfogyasztásával töltse vendégei társaságában.

This project consists in designing a complete “World Fair”, based on the very principle of the 1937’s one: pavilions attributed to recognized territories and supposed to exemplify the variety of cultures. This 1937’s fair has been the most spectacular example of the relation between Culture and Nation, from the confrontation between the Nazi and the Soviet pavilions to the display of the imperialist cultural conceptions of France or UK through colonial pavilions. Seventy years after this key-moment, what is the relation between political and cultural entities in nowadays Europe? The main shift of Culture States is that, on the contrary of historical world fairs, this one does not take nation-states as a territorial unit. In this project, pavilions are dedicated to former independant countries, that appeared and disappeared during the 20th century.
