MASH/HER/DIP

MASH/HER/DIP, Dinner with a Cannary, Malta Festival Poznan, 2010

In a few days we are expecting the arrival of a culinary art group MASH/HER/DIP, which is   created by Olga Badowska, Joanna Baranowska and Anna Kasińska. The group officially began in 2009 but the artists had worked with each other before on numerous occasions. Anna and Olga run the Underground Restaurant – a private underground restaurant commenting on the
tradition of elitist meetings. Together with Joanna, they created their interactive multimedia performance “Pampering” in New Theatre in Warsaw and run a Food Jockeys Night in one of Warsaw biggest theatres – Teatr Dramatyczny – Café Kulturalna. Their latest project called “Dinner with a Canary” was created within New Situations at Malta Festival Poznan 2010.


MASH/HER/DIP perceives feeding their audience with their unique dishes as a tool allowing them getting inside of the viewer in a subtle and sometimes brutal way. Food is an essential ingredient of every performance. The viewers and participants always co-create the project and become its crucial element. The group use various means of expression in their project such as video art, acting/performing and sound. All their activities are preceded by thorough research and study. Cooking allows MASH/HER/DIP create a completely different reality and gives an
opportunity to look deeper into our everyday existence.
