Abstract
In September 1984, on West Broadway between White and Franklin, where today stands an anonymous residential building, the camp had opened a restaurant. The United States had just left behind the turmoil of the Vietnam War and the country being led by a Hollywood actor embodying the unrestrained optimism of the neoliberal project. All the artists had moved to the loft district known as Tribeca, and a “For Rent” sign hung on the door of the old Teddy’s, the Sal Cucinotta’s swanky restaurant. This combination of events, held together by the partnership of eccentric Catalan artist Antoni Miralda and Spanish chef Montse Guillén, conceived the glittering art-culinary project known as El Internacional Tapas Bar & Restaurant. On the menu was a bizarre combination of politicised environmentalist stance and aestheticised fast food debauchery.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
