Questions? : caravansarai.info(at)gmail.com Online at: http://caravansarai.stikipad.com/home/show/Two+Times+Tart About the Project A trans-cultural culinary exploration of tastes and geographies, created from the combined input of 9 individuals from Turkey and its eight surrounding countries. In Istanbul, Julie Upmeyer has commissioned half-circle pastry shells from the small neighborhood bakery next to the Caravansarai project space. These shells hold the nine unique sweet fillings, made in Istanbul by Julie Upmeyer and the Caravansarai project team, from recipes submitted by the 9 participating individuals. Two half tarts (each 4.5 X 3 cm) are eaten simultaneously. The combination is chosen by the eater, who decides their own pair of flavors and geographies. Project Vision A Two Times Tart, connecting people and cultures, transgressing political tensions in the simple action of eating. The empty pastry shell is the political boundaries, divided and hollow, tasteless and identical. The filling is the people, cultures and traditions, held by the shells, yet overshadowing them with their flavor and originality. Combined in a single bite, are the creations of two individuals, two tastes .together. Selection Julie Upmeyer and the Caravansarai project team will select one recipe from each country. Results will be announced on February 11th, 2008. Distribution The pastry series will be first produced in La Spezia, Italy as part of the Love Difference Ice-cream and sweets as cultural passports event and later in Istanbul, Turkey for the opening event and distribution period. The project can be presented in other locations throughout the world when opportunities arise. The contributing authors will be attributed in all project material (documentation, signage, labels). It is understood that the selected recipes will be published on the Caravansarai and Love Difference Pastries websites, and be distributed through these respective networks.

Working independently and with various local and international partners, she generates projects, events, explorations, artworks and experience- based research.
