Alive in the Kitchen
Elsewhere will produce an evolving media project called Alive in the Kitchen, allowing viewers to interface with the museum’s kitchen commons. Elsewhere’s Kitchen Commons operates as a collaboratively run kitchen within the museum that hosts nightly dinners, culinary experiments, and community gatherings. For ACRE TV’s Psychedelicatessen Elsewhere will produce five original episodes composed of food happenings, vinaigrettes and meatings taking place in the Kitchen Commons, with a dash of curated video projects from our international artist residency. Each episode will feature a different meal plan as a theme for epicurious experiments including:

Lunch: We’re Having a Meating

Elsewhere is a living museum and artist residency program set inside a former thrift store in downtown Greensboro, NC. We invite 50 artists each year to use one woman’s 58-year collection of thrift to create projects, happenings and performances that enliven Greensboro and beyond. The Kitchen Commons is composed of a vast assortment of kitchen kitsch and vintage housewares in a public installation created by J. Morgan Puett and Ian Montgomery in 2011. Elsewhere is building a more collaborative culture and new futures from old things.
