DIRTY PALACE INFINITE DINNER III

June 2021 - November 2021

Location: Rotterdam

Commissioned by: Studio C.A.R.E.

Dirty Palace is an exhibition-event-dinner-performance that was organised six times between Summer and Autumn 2021.
A limited number of guests were invited by post to attend this special dinner-event, without knowing exactly what to expect.
Together with a group of performers, a five-course menu, designed in collaboration with Keju Kitchen, was served. While the announced exhibition was still to come, ice paintings by Daan den Houter melted throughout the evening and were enjoyed as dessert.
During the meal, guests were assigned various tasks, and the room transformed through their contributions.
As payment, attendees were asked to bring and explain a special object or non-physical element.

Food: Keju Kitchen

Music: Pietro Frigato

Ice Paintings (+ self made elderflower wine): Daan den Houter
