FRONTGARDENKITCHEN
Herlev, Denmark
FRONTGARDENKITCHEN at InstantHERLEV institute.
Suburbian nabourhoods requires an invitation to enter since people in the suburb often deliberately seek privacy. The suburbian individual plots are regulated by demarcation lines and representation codes, and hedges and front yards are elements that clearly defines the border between public and private spaces.
FRONTGARDENKITCHEN wished to challenge the borders between public, privacy and neighborhoodness via production of a space that could be entered without an invitation. Purposely the aim was to span the limits contained in the concepts of “mine” and “yours” and to break down the hierarchy found between inside and outside, indoors and outdoors. FRONTGARDENKITCHEN is an installation mixing interior and exterior elements such as plants, tools and furniture. Focus is on the meal as an event – removed from the detashed housing typology, where usual kitchen elements are normally reflecting family togetherness. FRONTGARDENKITCHEN brings the kitchen out into public space, abandoning its 60 cm x 60 cm element system, putting instead a series of components, combined in new constellations, taking part in a dialogue between surroundings, plants and people. All the plants are edible and everyone can walk straight from the pavement into the front garden and prepare their own salad. In the hedge between the public and private space a long kitchen table has been placed with a kitchen sink, a water hose, a wash basin, kitchen utensils and garden tools. Between flowers and plants, a long dining table with benches is placed for people to enjoy a meal with their nabours.
