of the Mobile Academy.

They have released over 15 solo full length recordings on labels
such as Tomlab, Fatcat, Bottrop Boy, Orthlorng Musork, Softl Music,

and Ex Teresa Museum of Contemporary Art in Mexico City.
Recently, the duo have been focusing on sound installation using
ideas such as folklore and local decorative arts to make sculptural,
designed environments. Their installation work has been shown
recently at the ICC in Tokyo, Centre D'art Contemporain in Geneva,
Basis vor Aktuel Kunst in
Utrecht, Serralves Museum in Porto, and the OK Center for Contemporary

of the city by finding new ways of reading projection spaces and
the spaces behind them (le décor et le retour du décor).
Her works include the Beirut-Berlin project (a comparison of the
two cities after division), the Eiscafé Venezia in Germany
and most recently a Palast der Republik Berlin wallpaper for the
living room.

Food
Academy Canteen, Bernhard Thome, Berlin
Over the first days, there will be cuisine from the local region
(Havel zander with braised Spree gherkins and Berlin-style liver
with potato puree, for example). After this will come a short
phase of nomadic gastronomy, followed by culinary rituals around
the urban campfire.
The axis of evil then comes to the table (hamburgers, doughnuts,
cakes and freedom fries), while the last three days are dedicated
to the art of take-away and self-service food. A recipe by the
3-star chef Jean Claude Bourgeuil will be pre-cooked and served
in a vacuum bag. With some hot water and 10 minutes of respect,
everyone will be able to cook for themselves.
Bon Appetit! Bernhard Thome will do the cooking:
Fakelore Meals First Week
Monday
30.8 "A Russian Welcome"
Herring and Vodka
Borscht
In the early days of Russia, it was tradition to welcome guests
with salty herring and vodka. It is also here that the birth of
a multiple course meal was born appropriately named the "Russian
Series". Through a royal marriage in the 1700's the idea
of this series of meals made it's way to France, which lead to
what we commonly know around the world today as the "Menu'".
Let's now celebrate this fine tradition - Nastarovia! Later, a
little French romance…
Tuesday
31.8 Welcome to Berlin!
Havelzander with Spreegurke
Berliner Liver with Mashed Potatoes
Berlin has it's own local food which is often catered to the
tourist, things such as "Fresh Havelzander mit Spreegurke".
The funny thing is, the Havel is a River and it is not big enough
to supply every tourist restaurant with the fish nor is the Havel
River even clean enough to produce editable fish in the first
place. So, we bring you truly fresh "Zander" from a
certified fishing hole.
Wednesday
1.9 Southern Cross
Älplermakrone
Brandy Crème
After your visit to the Swiss Embassy we now
serve you a typical meal from the Alpine Farmers. Although we
are not serving your meal on wooden plates nor asking you to eat
with a wooden fork, you will enjoy simple Swiss farmer fair. In
your mind, please imagine these ancestors with their full beards
and head wraps eating the same. Visually, where would you imagine
these people to originate from today?
Thursday 3
2.9 German
Knödel with Roasted Pork or Mushroom Ragout
Pineapple Sauerkraut
Germany, the land of Knödel and Sauerkraut! Being a huge
German tourist destination, Mallorca has now become a place to
get the best typical German food in the entire world. Then there
is something called "Deutsche - Deutsche" which is the
fused kitchen of the former east and former west. And to make
things even more confusing there is "Ausseiedler Deutsche"
which is the kitchen from two German settlements in Poland and
Czechoslovakia. On your plate tonight you will find West German
Knödel in competition with Böhmisch (Polish) Knödel
and East German Sauerkraut. (Erich Honecker, the last leader of
the East, served this exact recipe of sauerkraut with sweet pumpkin
to a ladies convention, not caring that pumpkin was no where to
be purchased or even found in East Germany.)
Friday
3.9 Star Search and Copyright
Curry Wurst, Bulette, Falafel
Berlin, which lacks in proper restaurant tradition, has at
least a healthy Imbiss (fast food) culture. Your Chef Bernhard
Thome went in search of the best of the worst, shamelessly stealing
the recipes and now offers you his re-creations. Curry Wurst via
Konopke, Bulette via Butter Linder and Falafel via Hal Bibi.
Saturday
4.9 Spaghetti: A Slow Boat to America?
Asian Rice Noodles & Spaghetti & Penne Pasta
Various Sauces
As the romantic story goes, it was Marco
Polo that brought back the ever so popular noodle to his homeland,
all the way from China. Most likely it was the Arab conquest of
Sicily that truly introduced itriyah to the colony. No matter
- it eventually found it's way to America where it was again transformed
through the generations. So, we have for you a sampling of its
journey
....now we have to work, so thats why we can`t write down the
meals for the other weeks....
