You Are Food
by Lynn Peemoeller
[Artist-in-Residency]

About the project

The artist will use food culture / habits / traditions, as a means to a) activate and map public spaces to encourage meaningful communication and exchange between citizens from different backgrounds (age groups, ethnicities, financial capacities); b) raise awareness on current affairs in food production and circulation and c) propose alternative practices. The project will create a living archive of oral and visual representations of food culture in relationship to local identity and heritage. A mobile structure will be built and used as a platform for actions that will map the city and document encounters.

About the Artist

Lynn Peemoeller is a food systems planner. As a consultant practitioner she blends expertise in natural sciences, urban planning, policy, agriculture, food, culture, nutrition, activism and the arts to study and work on a wide range of projects that address the human interaction with the complex cycle of food from the farm to the fork to the garbage dump, examining both the negative and positive state of humanity and development shaped by food. While Lynn lived in Berlin, Germany (2009-2014) her practice grew to develop and curate food experiments as agency to develop a dialogue about the past, present and future role of food in context to urban systems. Recent work has been featured in collaboration with the Good Food Festivals, the Sullivan Gallery at the Art Institute Chicago, Berlin Food Art Week 2015, Entretempo Food Art Gallery, Haus der Kulturen Der Welt, BMW Guggenheim Lab, Studio Olafur Eliasson, Institut für Raumexperimente, the Global Soil Forum, The Science Lab Dublin, and 48 Hours Neukolln Berlin.
