Stone Soup Session
INTERVENTION IN PUBLIC SPACE 05/2022
Supported by the research group B&M reinvented (RAFA), Den Dam, Antwerp, Belgium
On the occasion of the soup session, we presented our research methodology on a work-in-progress site of the Den Dam, Antwerp, under the bridge of the ring (R1).
We present ourselves with Ruotala, our portable studio on wheels. We introduce our methodology of research and show how we use our research tools Living Equipment to collaborate with “liminal” public spaces of Antwerp.
The food prepared was made with collected spontaneous weeds. The artists talk about each plant present in the recipes introducing their strategy to reproduce and transform human-build environments and how their behaviors can be an inspiration for artistic methodology.
On the menu and protagonist of the Soup session:
-Soup with nettle, wild hops, elder ground and garlic mustard.
-Garlic mustard pesto.
-Wild hops in oil.
-Sourdough bread with nettle flour
