OFFSPACE COOKBOOK
Open call for recipes from offspace catering culture
Accepting submissions until 01.04.2023
We invite curatorial teams from Swiss independent art spaces to share their favourite recipes from their event catering to create a print and digital publication from the contributions we receive. The offspace cookbook is a culinary mapping of the national offspace scene and a practical resource for spaces searching for recipes to feed their artists and audiences with limited budgets and basic equipment.
Format: DIN A4, 300 dpi, pdf or jpg. Drawn, typed or scanned. All languages welcome.
Please send your recipe via e-mail: espace.libre.bienne@gmail.com with the subject: offspace cookbook. Don’t forget to sign with the name of your space!
Or send us a hardcopy via post to: espace libre, Faubourg du lac 73, 2502 Biel/Bienne
All participating spaces will receive a printed and PDF copy of the cookbook. A launch event will be held in Autumn 2023, details to be confirmed!
All the best,
Beth Dillon & Vera Trachsel
