Food Studio

And that is something we in Food Studio recognize. Over the years we have had so many beautiful people joining us for some time, and the relationships that grow out of this common wish to change things, to create a new narrative and to explore how it can look and feel, is one of the most valuable sides of everything we do.

Thank you for our amazing collaborating partners providing the space at Nordic Black Theatre, high quality soy sauce from Maru Norway, coffee from Tim Wendelboe, and Åpent Bakeri for donating leftover bread and sweets.

The meal we put together was designed and performed by chef So Takahashi, music by Robin Snasen Rengård & @kofff. Copilot and SoMe @christelroshol with help from Shiori.

About Future Library

Scottish artist Katie Paterson has developed a one hundred year artwork Future Library “Fremtidsbiblioteket” for the city of Oslo in Norway. One thousand threes has been planted in Nordmarka, a forest just outside Oslo, witch will supply paper for a special anthology of books to be printed in one hundred year time. Between now and then, one writer every year will contribute with a text, with the writings held in trust, unpublished, until the year 2114. Tending the forest and ensuring its preservation for one hundred year duration of the artwork finds a conceptual counterpoint in the invitation extended to each writer: to conceive and produce a work in the hope of finding a receptive reader in an unknown future.

“Future library has nature, the environment at its core, and involves ecology, the interconnectedness of things, those living now and still to come. It question the present tendency to think in short burst of time, making decisions for us living now. The timescale is one hundred years, not vast in cosmic terms. However, in many ways the human timescale of one hundred years is more confronting. It is beyond many of our current lifespans, but close enough to come face to face with it, to comprehend and to relativise”. – Katie Paterson
