Kahve-House aims to combine the best principles of a café and a coffee-house in providing food and drinks in an atmosphere designed to encourage conversation and open debate.
Unfortunately, there is a delay.
It makes us envious that: Gordon Matta-Clark opened his food restaurant in 1971 (see image); Angela Bulloch set up a café playing the music of Kraftwerk; Georgina Starr described how it felt to have supper on her own; Rirkrit Tiravanija set up itinerant cafeterias, and organised a dinner in a collector's home leaving the ingredients for Thai soup; Ben Kinmont randomly selected people and offered to do their washing-up; Phillipe Parreno organised a party; Miltos Manetas held discussions around a café table...
Kahve-Society simply wishes to run a café but doesn't have the resources to do so. The desire to do this, and the failure thus far, might be considered to be an artwork that expresses something far more poignant about social context than the above examples.
