Food performance, cooking performance, lecture, Hausmania Oslo 2019

Art, we are told, is the

“ideal of craftsmanship” (Lissitzky) and yet also

“magic, freed from the lie of being truth” (Adorno),

“the perfection of nature” (Ovid),

“a special form of proclaiming a truth” (Higher Administrative Court of Münster), and also

“a mirror that ‘runs ahead’ like a clock” (Kafka) –

NO, “not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it” (Marx)
