Domaći kholodets can be translated from an interslavic incarnation as homemade aspic. By unpacking the references and meanings within this meta-linguistic construction, Maksim Poleacov in collaboration with Luiza Sim explores the central word Dom, which carries two coexisting meanings: home and house. In the workshop, cooking kholodets becomes a metaphor. Instead of meat and bones, artists use examples of Plattenbau as the main ingredients. Built on an industrial, assembly-line scale, Plattenabu meets basic human needs, shaping everyday life and the cycle of celebrations—Christmas, New Year, Christmas again, and the Old New Year. Inside, people cook kholodets with their families. But what if kholodets were no longer a dish, but a publishing house?
The residency is supported by ifa (Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen).
