We will cook poutine for the guests and participants throughout the event.

RECIPE: 'A Brussels potato and one from Quebec walk into a bar and...'

• Lacto-fermented french fries,
• Cheese Curds,
• A Carbonades Flamande Gravy (beer-based, Vegetarian),
• Crispy Seaweed topping

Our version of poutine brings together the culinary cliches of both regions, but is it more than a one-liner joke?

The kitchen setup is accompanied by a video installation of 2 potatoes, one from Quebec and one from Brussels, guiding you through the recipe, and talking about the process of fermentation, and the fermentation of languages and identities.

Peter Sattler (AT) and Kristinn Gudmundsson (IS), who work and live in Brussels, have been closely collaborating between 2009 and 2017 as the duo PETERKRISTINN, which resulted in various works, shown around Europe.

Apart from teaming up with PETERKRISTINN, Peter also processes and digests research through other artistic forms and approaches, such as film/video, installation, performance and writing and works as the production leader for the Dutch art institute.

Kristinn is producing and hosting since 2017 the cooking-show format SOD and performs in the Icelandic theatre collective Marble Crowd.

In December 2022 they rekindled their artistic relationship and re-united to design, host and cook a series of dinner events, called ‘Bread and Butter Supper’, to which they bring their passions and interests in food. These curated dinners offer them a way to share their new research as well as older works, with audiences, offering people a collective experience and platform of pleasure and knowledge creation.

Through different forms of collective storytelling, the histories, ontologies and economies of colonial structures are explored and stretched, rather than merely observed.

Notions of friendship, curiosity and being together animates their process, challenging perceptions of authenticity, productivity and sustainability.
