Developed as part of Ramiro Wong's Celebrations series,
It’s often the party*—not the
dinner itself is conceived as a threefold project: research, performance, and installation.
Celebrations
seeks to start conversation about our differences, backgrounds and beliefs by intersecting, comparing and contrasting one
another’s stories using the comfortable and quotidian element of a meal. The exhibition features a series of carefully crafted
dinner performances, shared meals and their residues, all revolving around ingredients offered by the soil and narratives
offered by the participants, which together conjure experiences of (dis)connection from the ground, what grows just above
or below it, as well as our (dis)connection from the Other.
Drawing from Wong’s research on non-verbal communication
and hospitality, the artist not only offers food to participants, but in a way, allows himself to be consumed by others, with
the hope guests will replicate the experience for themselves.
Exhibitions & programming are supported by
the Austrian Federal Ministry for Arts, Culture, Civil Service & Sport (BMKÖS) and the 7th District of Neubau.www.entrevienna.com
