Walls

Haraszti Zsolt – Walls
Performance, 2015, at Mediawave Festival, Wall exhibition

A few days before the action, a door frame with a painted stylized wall was erected on which these texts were added in Hungarian and English:

“A wall means self-closure and/or exclusion. This country would be far more livable if the walls were destroyed. This doorway will be build up with bread and dripping. On May 2015 at 19:30, if you are fed up with walls, come and help break them down: Eat a slice with us!“

After the artist laid down slices of bread with pork fat, the public helped “eat down” the wall.

Bread on Earth

Lexie Smith – Bread on Earth
Queens, NY

Bread on Earth is a publishing platform supporting the diverse dialogues that stem from our relationship to grain, in Lexie’s words: “I research bread and write about it.

I also place it into non-traditional visual contexts as a means of calling attention, catalyzing diverse dialogues. I occasionally make bread into sculptures and photographs, and am building a website and community surrounding it. That initiative is called: Bread on Earth”
