    The World in a Spoon: „Food Archetypes“
    Δ The World in a Spoon: „Food Archetypes“

    Looking at the various meals of the cuisines of this world, one can recognise basic forms, which individual foods can be attributed to. Dieter Froelich (restauration-a-a-o.de), artist and representative of purist culinary practice, has developed the concept of „Food Archetypes“. In his cookery seminar he takes a look at a dish from the “mixing and chopping” food group: the pudding.

    Dieter Froelich (restauratio-a-a-o.de) studied sculpture at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main, where he visited the cooking seminars of Peter Kubelka. He is the lecturer for cooking as an art form and has been organising Restauration a.a.O. since 2003.

    Curated by Sebastian Schellhaas, gastroanthropologist.

    Expert Guided Tour, Exhibition "Object Atlas- Fieldwork in the Museum" by Nikola Klein, Curator Americas.
    Δ Expert Guided Tour, Exhibition "Object Atlas- Fieldwork in the Museum"

    The exhibition “Object Atlas – Fieldwork in the Museum” examines which forms an artistic involvement with anthropological objects can take in a museum today. The exhibition presents objects from the collection of the Weltkulturen Museum plus new works produced by seven international artists. Instead of travelling to far-away lands, the artists undertook fieldwork expeditions in the Weltkulturen Labor at Schaumainkai 37.

    During their investigation of the collection’s objects, the artists were accompanied by the research curators of each collection from their first visit to the museum stores to the presentation of the newly produced works in the exhibition.

    In the context of the Expert tours you will gain insight into the scientific research conducted in the museum, the production process of the exhibition and inside information.
