Final Event: Stone Soup
The Australian artist Keg de Souza, currently in residence at the Darling Foundry, has built a giant inflatable structure and developed a series of events and discussions around food and radical spaces. On the occasion of the fourth and final event in the series, the artist released a publication related to the project on which she worked with Danielle Lewis, and is inviting friends, neighbours, collectives and communities to come and eat some soup inside the inflatable structure.
Stone soup is a popular story in which hungry travellers lead the villagers, initially reluctant, to contribute to a soup by providing ingredients. As the contribution made by participants in previous demonstrations of this project played a key role in the process, each ingredient added to the pot of soup will be a key element of the set.
You can read a version of the story here.
Please provide the ingredients for the soup between 5 and 6.30 pm. There may be a bar, but you can bring your own drinks.
A bit more about the project Inflatables and Appetizers by Keg de Souza :
Inflatable architecture echoes the radical spaces, free from restrictions of rigid structures. It provides a place for the study and discussion of the intersections between food, space, art, architecture and the radical possibilities. Some of the issues that drive this project : what do you think is the role of diet in community rehabilitation ? What do you think of the role of diet in different fields of art and activism ? What are the policies of art in relation to food?
The publication is a collection of the project's documentation during the last two months, as well as contributions by Jonah Campbell, Ronald Rose Antoinette, Virgil Addison and Danielle Lewis.
