‘Municipal Kitchen’
2024
Infrastructure for communal cooking and eating at
nGbK, neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst, Berlin
The exhibition and event programmme
Municipal Kitchens reimagined communal eating in cities. It gathered works by international and local artists and collectives that expose the current state and injustice of food systems, as well as ones that proposed new forms of community-based eating. The artworks were accompanied by a weekly event program and free-of-charge communal meals, transforming the nGbK space – previously a fast food restaurant in a former market hall – into a public kitchen.
Another Provision contributed to the overall concept, the event programme, as well as the community meals, which took place around our central kitchen table installation and the newly added communal kitchen.
