‘Café Carbon’ is a
musical performance that considers the consumption and production of food from
pre-historic times to the present day. Gina Birch, Kaffe Matthews and Hayley
Newman, aka The Gluts, performed ‘Café Carbon’ in the streets, bars and
restaurants of Copenhagen during the 2009 Climate Summit. Wearing strangely
fashionable up-cycled carbon-coloured costumes, the group invited the public to
select songs from an indulgent menu including; starter (Stone Cold Soup); main
(A Grand Buffet); and dessert (Sanity or Madness). At Vane, a video
installation will tell the story of their extraordinary journey.
