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
