Reminder: Feral Trade Café by Kate Rich at HTTP Gallery. Feral Trade Opens on Saturday afternoon 4 - 7pm 13th June. http://www.http.uk.net/exhibitions/FeralTradeCafe/index.shtml
Exhibition: Free entry 13 June – 2 August 2009 Feral Trade Café, an art exhibition that is also a working café, opens at HTTP Gallery for 8 weeks during Summer 2009. Serving food and drink traded over social networks, Feral Trade Café by artist Kate Rich (AU) provides a convivial setting from which to contemplate broader changes to our climate and economies, where conventional supply chains (for food delivery and cultural funding) could go belly up. Feral Trade uses social and cultural hand baggage to transport grocery items between cities, often using other artists and curators as mules. The exhibition includes a retrospective display of Feral Trade products (2003-present), alongside ingredient route maps, bespoke food packaging, video and other artefacts from the Feral Trade network. The café will stock and serve a selection of Feral Trade goods from a menu including coffee from El Salvador, hot chocolate from Mexico and sweets from Montenegro, as well as locally sourced bread, vegetables and herbs. Along with their food and drink, diners will be served waybills detailing the socially facilitated transit of goods to their plate.
