19.08.2010 Performance ''Tafelspitz mit Frankfurter Grüne Soße und Pellkartoffeln. (learning process)”

9 pm

In this series of performances, the action consists of receiving a class of some trade that Gabriel Baggio is interest in.
These trades are in relation with the daily knowledge and in the habit of being transmitted orally between generations, transforming and adapting themselfs to their times. The teachers turn out to be a people of age (since they are those who preserve this knowledge and are able to transmit it) and the duration of the performance is the necessary time to learn this specific knowledge (from 2 hours to 1 month, for example).
