ECAL + EXECAL Evening at Deli Social
Tuesday 25 April 2023, 6:30 pm
Place du Tunnel 11
1005 Lausanne
Mise en Place Research Residency: an open forum for the future of food
18:30 - 19:15 Presentation of the program by Emily Groves
Presentation by current resident Marta Soldevilla
19:15 - 20:30 Apéro and mingling
As customs around communal dining change, and questions about seasonality, sustainability and provenance take centre stage, the Mise en Place program aims to foster new culinary cultures by supporting exciting projects in the domain of food and drink.
With opportunities for entrepreneurs, creatives and chefs alike, the Mise en Place Association facilitates collaboration, experimentation and debate through its two residency programs - the Research residency and the Cooks! Residency.
We invite those interested in a meeting at Deli Social, home of the Mise en Place residency. It will be an opportunity to learn more about the residency programs, to ask questions and to meet the organizers, Emily Groves and Rhys Williams and current resident Marta Soldevilla.
Presentations will be made in English but it will be possible to discuss and to ask questions in French.

The Alfred Latour Foundation and Actes Sud publishers have just launched the third call for applications for the Alfred Latour Prize 2023-2024.

- Alfred Latour Prize: a grant of CHF 20,000 for the creation of a publication and contribution of CHF 60,000 towards the production costs of the publication
- Alfred Latour Awakening Prize: a grant of CHF 10,000 awarded to an artist under the age of 40 for an outstanding project
We invite those interested to a meeting at the Espace Alfred Latour. It will be an opportunity to learn more about these prizes, to ask questions and to discuss with some members of the Foundation, including its director Pierre Starobinski.

Piqûre-Lunaire by Thomas Grogan⠀
15.11.2019 | 6.30pm - 10pm
La Becque (La Tour-de-Peilz)
Thomas presented his work produced during his residency at La Becque in September 2019.
The event included a presentation of his research, a tasting of Lavaux wines and a virtual reality art installation.⠀
⠀
"Piqûre-Lunaire" is an immersive video work that projects itself into an empirical landscape, drawn by a geological, cosmological, pastoral and literary history. It plays on the plurality of conscious elements, human and other, that contribute to this environmental architecture.⠀
