Cuchifritos is pleased to present Cafe Tschichold featuring Emiliano Godoy, Terence Gower, Sonia Lartigue, Tilman Wendland. curated by artist Edgar Orlaineta. Cafe Tschichold will investigate terms like arts, science, technique, poetry and music. The exhibition will bring together a group of artists who deal with these kinds of dilemmas as praxis and will produce a collaborative project integrating different techniques –design, visual art, craft–, into one cohesive ambient. The artworks will address notions of recycling (objects and ideas), micro-modernism (as a “do-it-yourself Modernism), the site (the Essex Street Market specifically), the history of Modern Art, Design and Architecture, sustainability, the urban environment, and crafts, but most important the real motive is the dialogue generated by the project itself and its contingent.

*Café Tschihold is the name of a concept developed by a group of artists and designers (Emiliano Godoy, Terence Gower, Sonia Lartigue, Edgar Orlaineta and Tilman Wendland) to generate dialogues, events and situations integrating different formal languages, techniques and manifestations concerning Architecture, Design, Craft, and Art in general with the principle of not limiting these activities by their historical definition.

Cuchifritos is located inside the historic Essex Street Market, at the south end nearest Delancey Street, J, M, Z, & F trains to Essex/Delancey. Gallery Hours: Monday - Saturday, 12-6pm
Cuchifritos is FREE, open to the public and handicapped accessible.
