Artist project with Louisa Minkin.
We are thinking about plate designs and motifs. We are interested in modes of communication and contagion. We wish to display a number of designs and works-in-progress of plates and associated tableware.
We ask whether pictures are windows or objects, we wonder about the relation between taste and morality. Objects of thought or taste, pictures as windows onto another way of living.
We are interested in the notion of a taste for life; an inclination and a penchant — 'a leaning, an attraction' — that informs our thinking, our acting and our living.
We include in this issue plans for the production of ceramic objects that pose some issues on a plate or a cup; such as the forced choice between commodities and counselling or the lived relation between anomie and agony. Morals to eat from, situations to drink down.
Parking Lot is an independent non-commercial hand-made publication addressing inquisitive minds. Based in Amsterdam, it acts as a platform for original works and activities by international contemporary artists, thinkers, poets, writers, and activists. As an interdisciplinary project, it encourages collaborations, experimentation, and a total disregard for comfort zones.
Each issue is designed by a different graphic designer, contains original works by different (with minor exceptions) contributors, and is printed (mostly) on risograph.
