- | In FoAM Brussels we continue deepening and broadening our work with food systems, speculative culture and synaesthetic experiences. FoAM Kernow has found its niche in blending science, technology and the arts and thereby benefiting both the scientific community and wider society. FoAM Amsterdam is touring the world with Sphaerae, and FoAM Nordica consolidates its work on Foodprints. We feel that some of these are peak experiences not only of the last few months, but indeed of our work at FoAM as a whole. So without further ado, here’s a short guided tour of the highlights. We hope you’ll be inspired, and be in touch! | + | At FoAM Brussels we continue deepening and broadening our work with food systems, speculative culture and synaesthetic experiences.

Lies Declerck and her two-year-old son Adi spent a week in FoAM cooking from recipes found in FoAM's food-related books. This was one of the most unique and generous residencies we have ever experienced. Lies experimented with the fine line between work and life, art and housework and took care of FoAM and our guests for a week. In exchange we took care of Adi and involved both of them in the daily life of an arts lab. |

+ | Finally -- you might laugh after reading all of the above -- but we're working hard on a new project: Doing Nothing. In view of the malaise fuelled by stress, overwork, financial and social uncertainty and other well-known pain points pervading the cultural sector but also throughout the wider society of Europe and beyond, FoAM has initiated a practice-based research programme on how to do nothing: creating space and time to decompress amidst our hectic lives. So far the research has looked at how how to do this on a daily basis at a microcosmic scale, in FoAM and our networks, but in 2014--2015 the programme will be extended. In the spirit of Doing Nothing, we may not document it explicitly or extensively, | ||
