About the Wirtshauslabor Salzkammergut 2024 project:
The European Capital of Culture provides an impulse for the reinvigoration of the disappearing tavern culture in the country. With representatives from local and European gastronomy of the highest level, art and culture, thematic regulars’ tables will be initiated, taverns filled with art and culture, tavern labs will be started in tourism and vocational schools. The performative cooking collective Healthy Boy Band (Lukas Mraz, Philip Rachinger, Felix Schellhorn) developed the HOT BOX BUILDING especially for the European Capital of Culture, in cooperation with friendship.is. The mobile installation works at a variety of locations and activates them for a certain period of time: in the center of town next to the abandoned taverns, on the lake in front of a picturesque mountain panorama, on the field directly with the productions, in abandoned industrial halls as ambassadors.
