Tickets 20/12e, advance registration
KOKIMO Gardening Gourmet is a performance installation around the dinner table. The work builds a relationship with the seasons, the concept of the garden, the exhibition spaces, and the Garden Futures: Designing with Nature exhibition and its works. Gardening Gourmet explores audiovisual, spatial and taste perspectives through the garden and the seasons, and tunes the taster to a multi-sensory experience. In the work, we gather around a common table enjoying with all senses what the garden has to offer. The tasters are vegan and gluten-free. The performance takes place also in the exhibition spaces in the Museum of Finnish Architecture and the Design Museum. Premiere on 16 March 2024. The duration of the performance is about 1.5 hours.
