Kobberling & Kaltwasser

The art project “Transit Kitchen” was created and developed by Folke Kobberling and Martin Kaltwasser, an artist duo from Berlin. It was commissioned by the Goethe-Institut and co-curated by No.9 and the Goethe-Institut. “Transit Kitchen” is an invitation to Torontonians to analyze and deal with traffic, public transit, cycling, pedestrian movement, with the most recent developments and attractive scenarios of their continually more mobile metropolis, Toronto.

The concept behind “Transit Kitchen” is to provide an opportunity for visionary, creative, and open- minded Canadians to present their utopias, ideas and wishes regarding the future of municipal transportation, public collective mobility, and movement culture in Toronto. The resulting ‘mobility recipes’, presented in the form of lists of ingredients, recipes, dishes, cooking methods and gourmet tips, is a new and innovative way to present solutions for a better urban lifestyle in Toronto.
