Culture Is a Human Right
Rather than bet on a single technological invention, idea, or product to improve the world, my best bet for a better world lies in the cumulative aspirational power that is expressed by all peoples on this planet through art and culture.

Participation in culture is a fundamental right, as outlined by article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I propose that we take this right and all its implications seriously. This means not only ensuring the right to participate in culture, but also actively supporting culture and its practitioners, expanding access to it, and inviting more people to engage in its production and discussion.

Excerpt from Eliasson's text in Big Bet 2030 book - released today. More about the book here: http://bigbetinitiative.com/the-book/

The studio had the pleasure of Helen Zeru Araya cooking Ethiopian lunch together with the rest of the studio kitchen team.

The traditional family dish Beyeaynetu / በየአይነቱ is especially served during the fasting periods, where Ethiopians eat a vegan diet.

Beyeaynetu is a collection of vegetarian dishes served on Injera, which serves as the „spoon“ for lentils, beans, Ayib, a mild cottage cheese and vegetable sauces piled on top. Injera is a spongy sourdouh flatbread made from Teff, which is the smallest grain in the world, gluten free and extremely high in fiber, iron and calcium.

List of the dishes on top:

Miser wot (red lentil stew with berbere spice)

Shiro (chickpea powder and spices cooked with onions and tomatoes into a stew)

Ayib (homemade fresh cheese made from yoghurt)

Gomen (spiced greens)

Key sic (red beet root)

Kibe (clarified butter, made with garlic, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, coriander and cardamom)

Out today: Click image to see the new Versailles artist's book, designed by Irma Boom.
Order your copy on Walther König

This book arose from a dialogue between Olafur Eliasson and graphic designer Irma Boom, and accompanies the exhibition Olafur Eliasson Versailles. The book offers a subjective view of the baroque palace and its formal gardens. Essays by philosopher Christine Buci-Glucksmann and curator Alfred Pacquement. '

Photographs of the artworks by Anders Sune Berg converse with images of the site taken by Eliasson himself. A series of abstract drawings react to instructions written by Louis XIV on how to view the gardens of Versailles.

The book is printed on three kinds of paper with each a different colour: black, grey and white. Unconventional image orientation invites readers to turn the book in their hands as they read, and surprising colour and paper combinations add visual ambiguity and hesitation, causing readers to take a closer look.
