Feral Trade Café by Kate Rich at HTTP Gallery, London – from 13 June 2009
Exhibition: Free entry
13 June – 2 August 2009
Open Friday-Sunday 12-5
Private View: Saturday, 13 June 16:00–19:00
http://www.http.uk.net/
Feral Trade Café, an art exhibition that is also a working café, opens at HTTP Gallery for 8 weeks during Summer 2009. Serving food and drink traded over social networks, Feral Trade Café by artist Kate Rich (AU) provides a convivial setting from which to contemplate broader changes to our climate and economies, where conventional supply chains (for food delivery and cultural funding) could go belly up.
Feral Trade uses social and cultural hand baggage to transport grocery items between cities, often using other artists and curators as mules. The exhibition includes a retrospective display of Feral Trade products (2003-present), alongside ingredient route maps, bespoke food packaging, video and other artefacts from the Feral Trade network. The café will stock and serve a selection of Feral Trade goods from a menu including coffee from El Salvador, hot chocolate from Mexico and sweets from Montenegro, as well as locally sourced bread, vegetables and herbs. Along with their food and drink, diners will be served waybills detailing the socially facilitated transit of goods to their plate.
Feral Trade Café is the first element of Furtherfield.org’s three-year Media Art Ecologies programme, which aims to provide opportunities for critical debate, exchange and participation in emerging ecological media art practices, and the theoretical, political and social contexts they engage. The café will be host to events, initiated by Furtherfield.org and others, examining issues related to the Feral Trade and Media Art Ecologies projects, including a Media Art Ecologies networking day. Further info and dates (TBC).
On the occasion of the exhibition, Furtherfield.org and HTTP Gallery are pleased to publish a new essay about the Feral Trade project by writer, artist and designer Femke Snelting of De Guezen (http://www.geuzen.org/) (NL), http://www.furtherfield.org/displayreview.php?review_id=349
About Kate Rich
Kate Rich is an Australian-born artist & trader. In the 1990s she moved to California to work as radio engineer with the Bureau of Inverse Technology (BIT), an international agency producing an array of critical information products including economic and ecologic indices, event-triggered webcam networks, and animal operated emergency broadcast devices. The Bureau’s work has been exhibited broadly in academic, scientific and museum contexts. Restless at the turn of the century, she headed further east to take up the post of Bar Manager at the Cube Microplex, Bristol UK where she launched Feral Trade. She is currently moving deeper into the infrastructure of cultural economy, developing protocols to define and manage amenities of hospitality, catering, sports and survival in the cultural realm.

Kings Cross Great British Summer Haiku Competition – deadline 22 May 2009
http://www.kingsplace.co.uk/spoken-word/twitter
http://twitter.com/kingsplace
Kings Place has teamed up with Network Rail to create the world’s first ‘mobile poetry competition’, focused on neighbouring Kings Cross Station. People travelling into Kings Cross in the mornings are invited to submit Haiku-style poems on the subject of the British Summer from their mobile phones, using Twitter, and gain a chance to see their work displayed on the largest digital advertising board at Kings Cross. As well as appearing on the main digital screen at Kings Cross, some of the Haikus appear below – check back to look out for yours.
To enter, just “tweet” your Haiku using your existing Twitter account with the phrase @kingsplace at the begining and it will be picked up by the Kings Place Twitter account.
The competition will run between Monday 18 May and Friday 22 May, with the entered Haikus being submitted to Yoko Ono and leading UK poet Jackie Kay MBE for judging. The best haiku poet will be awarded free entrance for themselves and a friend to the Words on Monday events at Kings Place for the rest of the year. In line with the traditional seasonal focus of the Haiku form, the Great British Summer Haiku Competition will encourage writers to reflect on the coming of Summer and what it means to them.
