Suzanne Bernhardt works with clay, performs rockstudies and hosts ceramic ceremonies that research the relationship between body and land. In Bodemdrang* we take you on a journey along a variety of ‘Foodscapes’. These Foodscapes become the ground from which we peer into an unknown land of collective imagination, to discover new possibilities of living and working together in close collaboration with the ground under our feet.
In this night of scenic food-motion we take a dip into a local creek, sneak into a luscious garden, witness a volcanic eruption and take the rocky road back to a familiar urban landscape.
Pay Attention!
There will be no ordinary cutlery on this trip! Suzanne Bernhardt has made special tools to accompany us along the way. Be ready to discover new ways of connecting to food, each other and the environment! As a souvenir of our trip together, every quest brings back home a piece, especially made by the artist, to remind ourselves of the constant motion that lies in the essence of all things around us. No solid ground is the cure to all obstacles we cross on our daily paths of live.
Six course dinner
Let these six courses bring you down to earth:
- Holy Sloot: a warm welcome in the shape of a clear broth, inspired by the lowlands of our country!
- Common Ground: dig into a luscious edible garden with your unique -mouth to mouth- spoons (dig in, digging)
- Down to Earth: witness a volcanic eruption with flying stones, burning fires and lava is melting on your tongue
- The Stone Mind: Groundbreaking vegetables baked in clay and salt crust served with black ink and calligraphy brushes
- Clay Dreams: Rocks filled with sweet mud
- Urban escape: merengue gum litter, fruit plastics and trashed cardboard filo
Neo Futurist Dinners
In the series of Neo-Futurist Dinners, Mediamatic invites different artists to present their vision for the food of the future. Previously, this resulted in an algorithmic chef, or a multi-sensory 5-course dinner corresponding to the five Chinese Elements. In this way, we question the way in which food, art, science and politics intertwine.
Practicalities
All Neo-Futurist Dinners are vegan. If you have questions or want to inform us about allergies, send an e-mail to neofuturistdinner@mediamatic.nl.
