*what to bring: for this workshop, we ask you to bring something (an ingredient, an object, a thought) you would like to ferment, and a dusty forgotten jar from your kitchen shelf.
– about
Marina Sulima in company with fermentation as cultural preservation for personal and intergenerational memories. We will be exploring and testing how ingredients move, change, and shape themselves as they are shared, borrowed, and passed along; raising a question on how the act of fermentation – be it food, culture, or knowledge – becomes a form of resilience, connection, and renewal. The evening will conclude with a dish served.
– workshop
Pickles can fizz without any fuel. A jar of fermented tomatoes can be a character in a film. Tomatoes and their trade routes can change landscapes. Departing from pickled tomatoes, I invite you to join an evening carried and transformed by a common recipe for fermenting with salt.
Recipes can’t really be owned. As soon as you share one, it means you borrowed one, it means you agree that it’s not yours, it travels, it sprawls, it transforms itself and you. Bring your own recipes for fermentation, your cultures to share, a jar and ingredients for a winter pickle. We will ferment, eat, drink, sit around and read a selection of text fragments that can expand on the practice of fermentation in the midst of this heart-broken era.
– artist
Marina Sulima : “I work with illustration, animation, sculpture and film. I like to follow objects: a parcel, a shrimp’s ear, landfill juice, a copper ore or a tomato. I think everything is a story machine. One of the most satisfying things I get to do is listen to those stories and ferment them into new ones. Conjuring up stories of worlds gone slightly mad – of this world going slightly mad. Installing in them an absurd logic and all its necessary encyclopedic furniture.” https://marinasulima.nl/

het resort.
Het resort onderzoekt de gedraging van een kunstinitiatief en zoekt naar nieuwe wegen, bevraagd de oude en doet suggesties. Ze test hoe de kunsten zich staande houden in omgevingen waar deze (nog) geen vaste positie heeft en kiest zowel de monumentale architectuur als de rafelranden waarin de (eerdere) functie van de omgeving een belangrijke rol speelt. Het resort zoekt naar de wildcards: ongebruikelijke combinaties van kunstenaars en omgevingen waarbij de uitkomsten onzeker zijn. Met haar episodes wil het resort een ontsnapping bieden uit het dagelijkse bestaan en vertelt ze het verhaal van kunst, misvatting, voorspoed, ambiance en champagne.
