FINAL EVENT: STONE SOUP
A collaborative dinner & publication launch
Saturday 15th December 5-8 PM
Darling Foundry, 745 Rue Ottawa
(Enter via Queen Street entrance)

I am currently in Montreal, from Sydney, Australia on residence at the Darling Foundry.  This is the fourth and final event in the project I have been working on with Danielle Lewis, a launch of its affiliated publication and an invitation for you, your friends, neighbours, collectives and communities to come eat soup inside an inflatable.

Stone soup is a folk story in which hungry travellers trick locals, who are initially reluctant, to each contribute an ingredient to a soup.  Just as the contribution offered by the participants in this project’s previous events has been essential to the process, each ingredient added to this pot of soup will be a key part of the whole.

(You can read a version of the tale here)

Please bring ingredients for the soup between 5-6:30 PM.  There might be a bar but please feel free to B.Y.O.B.

A little more about the project: Gonflables et amuse-bouches
Keg de Souza

Gonflables et amuse-bouches features an inflatable structure, constructed out of disposable tablecloths, designed to host food related events and discussions about food politics and radical spaces.  Gonflables et amuse-bouches is based around a series of discussions & dinners in my studio where the inflatable structure is built.  The inflatable architecture echoes radical spaces not bound by the restrictions of rigid structures and offers a place to consider and discuss the meeting of food, space, art, architecture and radical possibility.  Some of the questions driving the project include: what do you think the role of food is in community building? How do you think the role of food differs in the realms of art and activism? What are the politics of food art?

The publication is a collection of documentation of the project from over the past two months as well as contributions from Jonah Campbell, Ronald Rose-Antoinette, Virgil Addison and Danielle Lewis.

Hope you can make it and see what I’ve been up to since being here and also say goodbye!

Cheers,
