Opening • Pickles & Concrete

November 15 @ 6:00 pm 9:00 pm EST

Join us for the opening reception of Pickles & Concrete, an exhibition by Kosmologym, Walker Tufts, and Greg Stewart. Pickles & Concrete is a time negotiating kitchen laboratory where bacteria makes pickles & bioconcrete. Pickles & Concrete also examines human attempts to alter the flow of time. In the kitchen we freeze, dehydrate and pickle foods to remove them from their usual cycle of decay. In contrast, we freeze and thaw concrete to simulate the passage of entire seasons in a single day. Pickles & Concrete invites players to get tangled up in the time scales between food preservation, building materials, bacteria and geology in an attempt to re-story science.
