What foods and dishes from the past have come into use during the restrictions\, and how is the creativity bubbling right now.

SUMMARY:Live Performances: Sergio Gomez and Joanna Pinsky with Beate Axmann
DESCRIPTION:Live Performances will take place in the DANK Treffpunkt (1st floor gallery)\, where guests are encouraged to watch at any time during the session.

Each artist will begin with their own large canvas. During this performance\, there will be several exchanges of the two canvases – meaning that each artist will add to the other artist’s work! This encounter will make visible the meaning of creative intervention\, trust and respect between the artists\, and the differences in their artistic expression.\n\nSpectators will have the unique opportunity to experience a very special art encounter – certainly not one that you see every day.
