Each event will feature cooking demonstrations, interactive workshops, and live entertainment. The first event will take place from 12-3pm on May 20th at Cesar Andreú Iglesias Community Garden in North Philadelphia and will include cooking by Valerie Banks, a foraging tour led by Lady Danni Morinich, and a talk on the impact of fracking in the Philadelphia region by Meg Leimour. The events will be free and open to all, with the goals of fostering connections and creating space to reflect on the role of waste in our lives. https://eugeniosalas.org/Waste-Feast-Fogones Thu, 27 Apr 2023 18:11:12 +0000 eugeniosalas https://eugeniosalas.org/Waste-Feast-Fogones Waste Feast/Fogones <img width="1800" height="1013" width_o="1800" height_o="1013" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5d098153e0ff0441ce8ec9d2433bcf4c9fec298698ce067497884de02659ff5a/DJI_0109.jpg" data-mid="176928255" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5d098153e0ff0441ce8ec9d2433bcf4c9fec298698ce067497884de02659ff5a/DJI_0109.jpg" /> Waste Feast/Fogones, is a participatory art project informed by environmental justice that was originated by Eugenio Salas during the 2021 Recycled Art in Residency (RAIR) program. The intention of Fogones was to establish links between stakeholders across the food system to come up with sustainable solutions rooted in the communities that have historically been employed as cheap labor in our food system. During the residency, Salas collaborated with immigrant laborers and cooks to design, construct, and prepare food in a cooking sculpture made from waste materials. <img width="1800" height="939" width_o="1800" height_o="939" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d04e127b169528ca1844eaabd3f94c4ce1139e2c6552414bbbd7dc6e798352d8/DJI_0209.jpg" data-mid="176932749" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d04e127b169528ca1844eaabd3f94c4ce1139e2c6552414bbbd7dc6e798352d8/DJI_0209.jpg" />Waste Feast/Fogones was kindly supported by Canada Council for the Arts. https://eugeniosalas.org/Breaktime-Overtime-Merch-Store Mon, 19 Jul 2021 20:06:23 +0000 eugeniosalas https://eugeniosalas.org/Breaktime-Overtime-Merch-Store Breaktime / Overtime - Merch Store <img width="3840" height="2561" width_o="3840" height_o="2561" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4855a333fb655dc7b0f48e6ef84ee7877941fd487b42a1ed098005ec72342ec5/Mitchell_Grasping_41.jpg" data-mid="114192472" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4855a333fb655dc7b0f48e6ef84ee7877941fd487b42a1ed098005ec72342ec5/Mitchell_Grasping_41.jpg" /> For the Grasping at the Roots exhibition curated by Christina Battle at the Mitchell Art Gallery in 2020, Salas developed a participatory performance in which audiences could purchase objects commissioned for the exhibition. This intervention involved working with the curator, gallery director, and staff to negotiate the dynamics of setting up a store within the limits of a not-for-profit public institution, ultimately defying its traditional means of engagement. The objects – including screen-printed posters, tea towels, woodblock-printed aprons, and zines – were derived from The Supercake, a process-based collaboration with immigrant factory workers in London, Canada. Proceeds went towards the ongoing production of a publication with The Supercake collaborators. <img width="3840" height="2561" width_o="3840" height_o="2561" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/05764da59c01a703b3f76b5b0a5ad2f309aae6ba7f040502f12ede1026a6e10d/Mitchell_Grasping_43.jpg" data-mid="114192474" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/05764da59c01a703b3f76b5b0a5ad2f309aae6ba7f040502f12ede1026a6e10d/Mitchell_Grasping_43.jpg" /> <img width="3840" height="2561" width_o="3840" height_o="2561" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7b8532dabce93fc4a09786a2008e7d7406276cdd9ba63be8591c495d1082218e/Mitchell_Grasping_40.jpg" data-mid="114192471" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7b8532dabce93fc4a09786a2008e7d7406276cdd9ba63be8591c495d1082218e/Mitchell_Grasping_40.jpg" /> <img width="2480" height="3718" width_o="2480" height_o="3718" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ee9c7bfb37f7fa0a3527b591975da658fa3ec13776e89ed5b5ae0e911f12c49f/Mitchell_Grasping_47.jpg" data-mid="114192478" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ee9c7bfb37f7fa0a3527b591975da658fa3ec13776e89ed5b5ae0e911f12c49f/Mitchell_Grasping_47.jpg" /> <img width="3840" height="2561" width_o="3840" height_o="2561" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d2e7cff11f0b5e056858536edb0071d1d7efd612645fd02b1d446c0f6fa57822/Mitchell_Grasping_45.jpg" data-mid="114192476" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d2e7cff11f0b5e056858536edb0071d1d7efd612645fd02b1d446c0f6fa57822/Mitchell_Grasping_45.jpg" /> Photos: Blaine Campbel https://eugeniosalas.org/Breaktime-Overtime-The-Supercake Mon, 19 Jul 2021 20:06:24 +0000 eugeniosalas https://eugeniosalas.org/Breaktime-Overtime-The-Supercake Breaktime / Overtime - The Supercake <img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2df89dd2c61bfff6e2d7dad11f2c14158a55ddf985106b34b3a304576b963999/supercake_16_eugenio_salas.jpg" data-mid="114193363" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2df89dd2c61bfff6e2d7dad11f2c14158a55ddf985106b34b3a304576b963999/supercake_16_eugenio_salas.jpg" /> Breaktime/Overtime The Supercake is a longitudinal collaboration with a group of middle-aged immigrant women with whom artist Eugenio Salas worked for four years at a cake factory in London, where they produced 3500 cakes per shift. Together they reimagined the production line and reconfigured its production logic as a way to reclaim artistic agency to produce The Supercake, a 22-foot long edible sculpture / installation. The Supercake was supported by a grant from the Ontario Arts Council and co-sponsored by McIntosh Gallery and Trinity United Church. <img width="686" height="862" width_o="686" height_o="862"

activated within art events on a PWYC or barter basis.The art gallery, stripped of its walls and removed from its traditional displaying function, becomes an Art space- an environment that allows experimentation and improvisation. Concepts that challenge business and market logics can be carried out with a critical andengaging lens.Rice &amp; Beans&nbsp;was born from the idea to eradicate boring and unhealthy foods at art events, by providing exciting and wholesome food. Eventually this concept developed into something political, where food is the departure point for suggesting alternative ways to experience art and food. #riceandbeans can be seen as a lab to test recipes, menus and ingredients that are sometimes neglected in mainstream local food culture.This “real life” performance addresses food insecurity in the arts community and demystifies the idea of the "starving artist". Even though precarious financial conditions among artists are common, with many living below the poverty line, this is often overlooked or romanticized as part of the bohemian experience of being an artist. Food cooked for and by artists is a hands-on response to these conditions, bringing real life problem-solving skills into the art space.Rice &amp; Beans&nbsp;aims to create dialogue about how we perceive -and value- food, diversify gallery audiences, feed people outside of traditional spaces for food consumption, and repurpose the white cube for a convivial experience.No more raw carrots and dip! https://eugeniosalas.org/Social-Plastics-Nail-Party Mon, 19 Jul 2021 23:36:54 +0000 eugeniosalas https://eugeniosalas.org/Social-Plastics-Nail-Party Social Plastics: Nail Party &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<img width="1000" height="667" width_o="1000" height_o="667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0b3f7b426ea03c5aa42ad7afcbc8aabd35845840ac791ef62c56de85bb47f199/socialplastics_8_eugenio_salas.jpg" data-mid="114196422" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0b3f7b426ea03c5aa42ad7afcbc8aabd35845840ac791ef62c56de85bb47f199/socialplastics_8_eugenio_salas.jpg" /> Salas collaborated with a Vietnamese immigrant family of nail technicians, artist Mary Tremonte and music band LAL on Nail Party, a site-specific intervention in a gentrifying, historically immigrant Toronto neighbourhood. Nail technician Katherine Tran designed patterns that were reproduced by her older relatives during the performance and informed artist Mary Tremonte’s vinyl renditions for the installation. Nail Party utilized a small-scale and commodified art form to map diasporic geographies, generate creative exchange, and explore new avenues for engaging with issues of immigrant labour. <img

Eugenio Salas consisting of a free parcel delivery system created to generate connections between the North and South ends of the hemisphere through the exchange of personal objects. In YYZGRU Express (YYZ being airline coordinates for Toronto and GRU for São Paulo), Salas assumes the role of a courier offering his services to transport parcels between the two cities. He delivered twelve parcels in total, containing various items from photos and postcards to a hair straightener and a helmet. Collaborating artists responded to the items and created pieces that formed part of the final parcels.&nbsp;Francesco Gagliardi created a series of individual scores about memory and time in both English and Portuguese that were printed and placed in the space traditionally occupied by parcel labels. Francisco-Fernando Granados invited recipients to play crossword puzzles (including the names of each delivered item) using one color in English and another in Portuguese, highlighting points of intersection and disjuncture between the two colonial languages. Acting as a service provider, Salas documented the participants and their packages in an activity that coincided with the Hemispheric Institute’s 2013 “Encuentro” (Encounter) symposium at the University of São Paulo. <img width="1000" height="1695" width_o="1000" height_o="1695"
