Within the programme of residencies 'Unequal Opportunities', AC/E supports the participation of Asunción Molinos Gordo and Marta Fernández Calvo invited by the Delfina Foundation.
Unequal Opportunities is a series of residencies, new commissions and public events culminating The Politics of Food programme. Since 2014 this programme has brought together over 90 artists, activists, anthropologists, agronomists, chefs, curators, scientists and writers from 36 countries. It has engaged audiences of 265,000 internationally and partnered with diverse organisations such as Creative Time and SOAS University
and HIVOS. Publications including Frieze and Art Forum have covered it.
Unequal Opportunities explores the relationship between food and broader social injustices. Produced in collaboration with institutions including Whitechapel Gallery and London School of Economics the programme will include an exhibition, workshops, performances, talks and a publication. Artists from artists from Spain, Sweden, Italy, The Philippines, Ghana and China will take part. In addition to the public events each artist will participate in a series of targeted networking lunches.
Within the programme Unequal Opportunities, Asunción Molinos Gordo produces an exhibition and performance provisionally titled 'Rural Repositioning' and Marta Fernández Calvo produces a performance entitled 'Vanishing Food'.
Asunción Molinos Gordo makes her first solo UK presentation examining rural inequalities in the UK. Taking as a starting point her audio work The Answerphone, she transforms Delfina Foundation’s gallery space into a participative research environment, working with farmers, anthropologists, geographers and policy makers to visually map and display the issues impacting rural communities. This presentation will be on show in the gallery for 10 weeks.
Marta Fernández Calvo undertakes a 6 week research and production residency. It is the artist’s first visit to London and she develops a project entitled Vanishing Food, which draws on Fernández Calvo’s investigation into the phenomenon of Casas de Comidas in La Rioja. Emerging in Spain in the 1950’s these restaurants were effectively semi-domestic spaces in which family recipes were shared, cooked and served by different generations of women. Casas de Comidas are quickly disappearing and this project intends to highlight a largely undocumented part of Spanish social history that provided much needed site of economic independence as well as a significant impact on the nation’s culinary culture.
