Cure Café

Exhibition
November 27, 2015 — November 28, 2015

Today food is no longer expected to only facilitate the necessity of survival, but instead fulfill any number of human expectations –our immediate impulses, our emotional desires, our personal fetishes and a hopeful antidote to our stressful, unhealthy ‘lifestyles’.

Through a series of workshops with SulSolSal (NL/BR/ZA) and William Speakman (CH), students of the Sandberg Cure Master program investigate new possibilities within food, nutrition and our cultures of health. Within this intersection of disciplines, critical issues and divergent perspectives on food and treatment are considered.The outcomes of this research –a symbiosis of performance, installation & lecture – form the program of 'Cure Café'. This temporary Café is installed at De PUNT project space in Amsterdam East.
