Things Are Cooking in Our Kitchen

For Things Are Cooking in Our Kitchen I in­vit­ed eight young a­rtists, with whom I feel a­rtisti­cal­ly con­nected, to ex­plore the pos­si­bil­i­ty of work­ing co­l­lab­o­ratively in rela­ti­on to the a­rt of pa­inting and sculp­ture. The struc­ture, ma­teri­al, and con­tent of the kitch­en func­ti­oned as an ini­tial con­text to work with. During the two week work­ing pe­ri­od, pa­r­tic­i­pants came by spo­rad­ical­ly.

The spe­cif­ic lo­ca­ti­on of Greylight Projects Hoensbroek had an im­pact on our ac­ti­ons. Ad­jacent is the for­mer town hall with founta­in, not used since 1996-8. During the pre­sentati­on we re­vealed a tem­po­ra­ry founta­in and we in­vit­ed peo­ple of the neigh­bourho­od, fa­mily, friends, ac­qua­intances and a­rt lov­ers to eat pan­cakes ma­king use of our a­rt in­stal­la­ti­on of a kitch­en insi­de and sit­ting on the height­ened flo­or in­stal­la­ti­on we had built.

Hans Duzijn, neigh­bour of Greylight Projects and own­er of Sterme­diastore Hoensbroek de­signed the wall­pa­per and post­er for the in­stal­la­ti­on.
