Heiße Platten , Kalte Platten

The artistic event series "Hot Plates, Cold Plates" explores the playful space of possibilities between hospitality, cuisine, music, workshop and conversation.

Artists are invited as guests for dialog, whose work opens up associative and atmospheric spaces of memory. Each "special guest" brings a selection of their favorite music, which is served with matching dishes. Various courses alternate in a discursive conversation: talking, listening to music, eating and drinking. Sometimes there is hot food and cool music, sometimes hot sounds and cold food.

Food and music provide the audience with intimate insights into the questions, influences and working methods of each artist. The aim is to open up the mycelial network of impulses and references from which artistic working methods spring into other sensory spaces and make them tangible. An immersive social space is created.
