Related project: Caretaking (1st Generation)
The Bread Oven is a mobile baking unit and 2022/23 Intercurricular Program at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. I built the oven together with artists Florian Lutz and Jakob Krinzinger in 2019. Ever since, different groups of caretakers use the oven to create social situations involving baking and sharing recipes and bread on campus. The oven has become a testing-ground for students and staff to explore notions of collective work, hosting and self-organisation in practice. Over time, the oven has been equipped with an increasing number of additional infrastructure such as nomadic furniture or a printed publication documenting the project’s development over time.
