“Granola” Mitchell Dose

In rural Nebraska, an unspoken consensus belies rationale, as the rituals of a robed people and their silent strivings lay the groundwork for a misunderstanding of all the health that Granola can promise.

“Alive in the Kitchen” Elsewhere

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:

Brunch: It’s Sherbert Day

Airing daily September 8 – October 31, during Brunch Special (starting at 11am CDT)

Lunch: We’re Having a Meating

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” and “C” Hani Moustafa

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!

Airing daily September 1 – October 31, during Lunch (starting at 12pm CDT)

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” Tara Nelson

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.
