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:

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.
