General Assembly of food at the U.N.B.B.Q.

Aside

We had a great time inaugurating the U.N.B.B.Q by artists Jennifer Allora & Guillermo Calzadilla were commissioned for a permanent art-work, part of Open Source Amsterdam, the first international open air art manifestation in the Bijlmermeer. Curator Helga Lasschuijt decided to set things in motion and organised a public bbq. She counted on 10 people to come but that turned out to be some 20 people and a zillion kids :-)
