Workshop
Slow Heat: Discursive Baking Workshop
by Mascha Fehse & Valentina Karga
Using a lump of dough as a medium for discussion, we will look into the organic and chemical transformation processes of artistic practices. Mascha Fehse and Valentina Karga will share examples of artworks that create heat and decompose after a single use or over time. Together, we will explore the minimum life span of our collective work: bread sculptures that we will consume and digest, immediately after making them while embarking into an exchange on personal environmental, social and political values.
Backhauswagen:
The Backhauswagen is a free, accessible, mobile, supplying and caring infrastructure for areas in transformation: a bread oven, rising chamber (for sourdough) and smoking oven in car-trailer format. It is primarily engaged in the activities of BündnisFeuer & Flamme at Dragonerareal, Berlin. Between 22.5-23.6. Backhauswagen is in residency at Radical Playgrounds.
Mascha Fehse deals with questions that concern public space and the commons, focusing on micro-scale collisions, applied experimental approaches and a design discourse that triggers curiosity and leaves room for a variety of perspectives. She lives and works in Berlin.
Valentina Karga is a Greek artist based in Berlin. She is working on challenging the notion of “self” by proposing non-anthropocentric future narratives. She works across different media, often inviting the public or a community to literally complete the work.
