Spacial Abundance: Imaginaries of Post-Industrial Catalunya

By: börek - November 12th, 2019  Filed under: exhibition

From Thursday 28 November to Thursday 12 December 2019, exhibition on the walls of Joe’s Garage. Spacial Abundance: Imaginaries of Post-Industrial Catalunya

The work is a manifestation of the tension between the imaginary forms and functions of the vast space of Calafou, once an industrial colony and thread mill, now a post-capitalist, eco-industrial colony. The abundant volume of space rendered unusable by time and nature is something that captures the wandering body and mind upon entering the area, also known as the Zona Zero. The vast abundance of histories and possibilities feel invisible when one gets used to it, but never goes away.

Opening on thursday 28 november with a benefit dinner at 19:00 for Calafou https://calafou.org/

Reflection Tables on People’s Kitchens and Political Struggle https://squ.at/r/7gxy

A big part of what we’ve been doing for the past years, is hosting the anti-food waste dinner on Sunday evening. For us, providing people with a meal made from trash for free or donation is a political statement to address the problem of food waste and the importance of collective cooking and eating. We are not the only ones doing this, there are a lot of VoKus around in the Netherlands who organise meals or events out of the same political principles. We would therefore like to host reflection tables in the afternoon during Barriversary, to share experiences and start a reflection about the importance of food and collective cooking/eating.
