    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:

    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.

    W:

    W is an ideal employee. He has been working diligently for more than 40 years as what a perfect clerk should be. He honors work and sees that it is the civilized alternative to the caveman’s struggle for existence. However, he would not mind to keep his position at work by any effort – and any mean. Unfortunately, he sometimes feels the need to stop working for moments to honor his nature calls. This makes W so sad!

    C:

    C conquers the feeling of loneliness, in this cold world, by diving into the warm nostalgia of commercials, black and white films, and shopping to make tasty meals. However, the modern age doesn’t let him enjoy his shallow life. Ah! What a cruel world!

    Fruit Hospital Episode 1 Fruit_Hospital Episode 1 Fruit Hospital_Episode 1 FruitHospital Episode 1

    A Soap Opera from the Fifth Dimension!  In this episode we meet Harry Mann, a sinister Simian with an injured Banana that needs medical attention, STAT!  Sassy Nurse Hasenpfeffer Corndog admits the injured fruit while Hospital Handyman, Dick Glue, cleans up the compost from yesterday’s harvest.  In the operating room, Dr. Bean Pootin beams-in to administer a dose of golden elixir to the patient with the help of horny Nurse Corndog.  The dashing Dr. Wormhole comforts Harry Mann in the waiting room before helping himself to a spoonful of Nurse Corndog, still steamy from her O.R. romp with Bean Pootin, while Dick Glue lurks in the shadows, licking his wounds and plotting revenge.

    Three times a poem punning, variously, on black holes, catch-and-release fishing, cyclicality of body-toxification, preparation, etc. all to bi-fi psych / ecstatic static.
