Ordering is an interesting concept. I once felt like this is the future-telling of today\u2019s. I was in a cafe and someone told \u2018it\u2019ll be two cappuccinos\u2019 and, guess what, there were two cappuccinos. How do you explain that? Maybe we underestimate (or overestimate) this capacity? What else is there to order?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So there is this place in Vilnius called Coffee Circus Piano, I\u2019ve been there a few times. A spectacular phenomenon is taking place there with the door. It\u2019s open, almost all the time! Now right, it\u2019s cold and all that, but we respect imaginary order more than anything. Remember how you were thought \u2018leave as you found\u2019. So it takes just one person to start a chain reaction, or a new order rather, of keeping the door open for ages. And with all the uncomfort, it fascinates me a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, in August I prepared a private dinner with parameters\u2019 menu, and one parameter was unexpected – food! Chef Anya Karenevskaya prepared food in clay shells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting ready for the Politics of Space Symposium, I keep thinking \u2018less is more\u2019. The shells come back as a minimal piece to produce encounters. Long ago I wanted the remains of a performance to stay as an exhibit the next day. The curator suggests this herself, how curious. At SODAS2123, I read a beautiful text for the exhibition \u201cThe Weather in Fred Sandback\u201d @Swallow, and find two clay objects, like a vision of the shells-to-be-made. I wonder if the broken shells will do well as cutlery. A precariously placed coffee cup falls and smashes into pieces. It\u2019ll do well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My contribution for the exhibition is under a theme of object and its space. Normally, I don\u2019t create objects. Now I\u2019m not creating them either, just acting as a mediator. Ok, so be it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I go to \u201cGeorgian bread\u201d counter, two ladies converse about the struggle of living with overloaded freezers. How didn\u2019t I think about that, they\u2019re always full, a constant source of stress. There should be a party, free the freezers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I visit Delta Mityba. \u201cI want to know where\u2019s my place, I want to know where I\u2019m working\u201d (shoutout to Adriano Celentano). New people, same problems, I say. So simple, yet so complicated, the founder says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for a while I was exploring the linguistic load of food topics. \u2018Salver\u2019 stem from \u2018salve\u2019. Help yourself. What are you going to bring to the table? Words, words, words, I don\u2019t know what to do with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
