About

PLACE & PLATE for Architecture at the Edge Festival, 2023.

PLACE & PLATE is a hyper-local supper designed & curated by Jeni Glasgow of GLASGOW-DIAZ in collaboration with Connemara based nomadic pop-up THE SEA HARE. 

The supper is a considered response to the project ‘Meat and Two Veg: How Eating Designs The World’ by BothAnd Group.

Meat and two vegetables - explores how a popular dish which is framed as ‘local’ by food marketing campaigns is rather produced across European and global landscapes.  These contradictions are followed in the fieldwork which encounter Ireland’s grass and carrot seeds produced in the Netherlands, its broccoli seeds in Spain and its potato tubers in Scotland. The research unveils the intensive synthetic character of European rural landscapes and presents us with places that have been designed by and for our consumption.

In the unique surrounds of Shanbolard Farm Potting Shed we will enjoy a series of small plates that celebrate the island, the garden, the ocean & the season. Food for thought. Dinner without airmiles. A local story.

About

Architects Jack O’Hagan and Bodil Eiterstraum have created a map which takes the form of a market stall that showcases the significance of the Galway Market within the city's food scene. They have remapped the interactions that reveals the intricate web of relationships within the market, highlighting the importance of the market on Galway’s vibrant food scene, and how it extends its influence throughout the city.

Much like the other market vendors, arriving at St. Nicholas' Church on market day, Jack and Bodil will set-up stall from 08:00am, until 18:00pm. Through its presence, the aim is to stimulate a conversation with the public about the market's role in the food culture of Galway and the importance in fostering and protecting this centuries old tradition. Like other vendors, our stall too is transportable. When the market closes we will wheel it to the Festival Gallery Printworks where the map will continue to be exhibited for the duration of the festival.
