Money back lunch

A collaboration to cook a lunch with newly bought equipment, wearing freshly purchased clothes, all of which were returned after the meal.

with Marie Clerel, Cristina David, Judit Fischer, Gábor Kristóf, Miklós Mécs, Jaro Varga and András Zalavári ; at Revolution without Movement

The group met at Cristina David’s workshop on collaboration, artist+artist. Through discussions we decided to cook a meal with ‘borrowed’ equipment and clothes. We bought large pots, a knife, a ladle and frying pans. While at the department store, we decided to buy fancy clothes to wear during the lunch. Back at the gallery we carefully unpacked all the equipment. Some of the unboxing was complicated, and we found ways to undo zip ties and keep as much intact as possible. Similarly with the clothes, all the labels were left on.

We cooked lecho and pancakes, and enjoyed some wine while being careful not to spill it on our clothes!

At the end of the lunch, we cleaned up, repackaged the equipment and clothes, and returned them to the store. All returns were successful
