Zelný trh v Brně

Are you a fan of cabbage salad? Or do you rather listen to Krautrock? Krautsalat is a performative intervention, which offers both, as well as other extraordinary activities within one, possibly, sunny afternoon at Zelný Trh (historically called Krautmarkt). Besides convenient grocery shopping, customers of the market are invited to explore the relationship between music, agriculture and gastroeconomy. The program combines an ongoing performance by Mount Vegan Rawchestra and a concert by Sbor Družstvo život. ASMR-V, Bio Funk other delicacies are included in the program.

Mount Vegan Rawchestra is neither a band nor a culinary project. The style of their recipes defies categorization into any specific musical genre. Indeed, what music genre do you associate with organic vegetables and those accustomed to daily conveyor belt travel? During Saturday afternoon, you can visit a unique stall dedicated to sonic fermentation, processing, and, of course, degustation of exotic Southern German specialties brought by collective members for this occasion. While digesting this experience, join or listen to the collective singings by Sbor Družstvo život. Let your body resonate on frequencies of emancipated theories and poetry.

Krautsalat is both a zone and a process. It blends everyday with extradaily and surreal, gathering ingredients that might not otherwise come together. Like a cranberry in cabbage juice or whipped cream atop Filderkraut. They say Krautmarkt is the only place in the Czech Republic where agricultural products are available for sale six days a week, all year round. We know that the only day these products perform is at Krautsalat.

The event is part of an ongoing series of performances, concerts, lectures, listening sessions and other events that are connected by a shared interest in sound art. The dramaturge of the series is interdisciplinary artist Maria Komarova.

Maria Komarova is an interdisciplinary artist whose work is situated between performance art, scenography, sound and installation. By staging and technically transforming ordinary objects, Komarova highlights the sonic and visual potential of the non-human world. She works with sound as a performative medium and continuously develops DIY electroacoustic objects that she allows to temporarily inhabit sites of performance and installation.
