14-15-16 sept 2012: dinner.talks @ smaakexplosies

during the 4th edition of smaakexplosies, a cultural & culinary festival, we worked on project dinner.talks.

usually we chat quite a lot as we dine, we improve the world, we discuss the highlights of the day, share intimacies, and if dinner tastes really delicious we even swap recipes and cooking tips. but … often we are so noisy while we’re eating that the stories of you dinner most of the time are lost … so we thought it’s time to work on some dinner.talks, two interactive installations: black + colourful dinner.talks.

sept: dinner.talks @ smaakexplosies

hush ………… if you are very gently and listen very carefully, you might hear what your dinner is telling you.

usually we are talking away while we are eating, we improve the world, we discuss the highlights of the day, we share intimacies, and if dinner tastes really nice we even swap recipes and cooking tips. but…. often we are so noisy while we are eating that the stories of your dinner most of the time are lost… so now it’s  time for some dinner.talks.

as you can see in the picture, de culinaire werkplaats got again a very, very nice space at this year’s smaakexplosies (cultural and culinary festival taste explosions). here you will find the stories that your dinner tells. at certain moments there will be some temporary dinner.talks with guests.

and you can participate as well, as you can contribute with your yesterday’s dinner to the installation, which marjolein will built together with the visitors during the festival. the installation will be reflecting the dinner.talks of the festival visitors.

you can visit dinner.talks a co-production by de culinaire werkplaats and sanna rosendahl during the festival smaakexplosies on: fri sept 14 from 16 – 19 hrs plus sat sept 15 and sun sept 16: 11 – 18 rs.

14-15-16 sept: smaakexplosies 2012 – a sneak preview

on a very, very hot day in july, eric and i went to the hembrug area in zaandam, near amsterdam, a former military and ammunition site. we were curious to find out which building the team of smaakexplosies had in mind for us this year.
just like, in 2009, we were struck again by the mysterious and inspiring environment where this festival is located. et voilà, see above the building for our contribution this year. a week ago jiske walstra, one of the two festival organizers, gave us a sneak preview by e-mail, but it didn’t match the real thing. in reality, the building is breathtaking.

taste explosions 2012: ‘the story of taste’

smaakexplosies is a festival with & about food, exciting food, stimulating food, healthy eating, eating with humor and edible art. but ………there is much more than food only ……..
you can also enjoy music, street theater, art, workshops, listen to tasty stories, look into the kitchen of various museums from northern holland and discover the very special environment and setting.
the 2012, and fourth edition of smaakexplosies takes place at the hembrug area of zaandam on september 14, 15 & 16. this year’s theme is ‘the story of taste’

our contribution

in 2009, the contribution of de culinaire werkplaats was ‘zijbakt.instilte’ (she bakes in silence), an exhibition of emotion.bread, breads with a personal story about emotional moments in life. right now we are working on this year’s contribution, which we will announce soon.

drive to a different beat

drive to a different beat, an event hosted by bentley in shanghai (june 2012). the keywords of the overall event concept, developed and executed by dvp china eventmarketing (dvp), are:

  • the colours dragon red + black
  • transformation,
  • and drive to another beat.

together with dvp de culinaire werkplaats created a catering concept based upon these keywords. so all the canapés, the welcome drink and cocktails communicate individually the 4 main aspects of the event.

at a very cold october evening in roest amsterdam marjolein & eric have presented one of their ideas at pechakucha night amsterdam #19 bound by the world famous rule: 20 slides of 20 seconds each for 6 min and 40 secs of fame.

marjolein & eric presented: the last farewell of today’s dinnerplate: meet the blacks.

  • they start with a poem, a longlist of a great number of black vegetal ingredients to illustrate that the dinnerplate of the future doesn’t have to be anything but empty. and they wanted to share the idea that by eating dark/black veggies and fruits you all can contribute to a colourful future.
