Finissage: Kunst Kebab

KUNST KEBAB: Exploring Food And Art In Social Space

16 December, 2017 // 19:00 - 02:00

Kunst Kebab, an international art exhibition, which focuses on the relation of food and art will take place in a Kebab Restaurant in the U2 Underground Passage in the Museum Quartier, Vienna. The restaurant, which is run by a Turkish immigrant, will be a site for artistic interventions and it will include artworks of different media such as digital printing, photography, installation, painting, video and performance. The exhibition is hosting 13 artists from different backgrounds and it is curated by Deniz Be?er and Deniz Güvensoy.

Artists: ?arko Aleksi?, Fatih Aydo?du, ONA B., Boris Beja, Deniz Be?er, Elisa Jule Braun, Deniz Güvensoy, Jelena Mici?, Khaled Ramadan, Kamen Stoyanov, Katharina Swoboda, Serra Tansel, Joshua James Zielinski

The main focus of the project is to discover the role of food, eating and tasting in contemporary art. Another important focus is to investigate the ways to transform the meaning and function of social spaces using art practices. Turning a Kebab restaurant into an art venue is both a challenge and a new opportunity to create new encounters in a new context.

Kunst Kebab exhibition will continue with a performance of Kamen Stoyanov and Party.

On 16th December 2017, artist Kamen Stoyanov will make a special performance for ?Kunst Kebab?s finissage. In the performance which is titled as PPP (Performing Pizza Painting), Stoyanov offers the clients pizzas named after significant art pieces, e.g. ?Shoot? by Chris Burden or ?I am to sad to tell you? by Bas Jan Ader instead of common pizzas like a Margarita or Diavolo. He interprets these artworks in a performative way and a new pizza – art piece is born.

After the performance, there will be a party which will have musics from 70’s Turkish psychedelic rock, 90’s disco and some rare funky records. Ready to dance at Kunst Kebab!
