Dr. Rhee`s Kimtschi Shop
Dr. Rhee`s Kimtschi Shop posing as an mercantile venture, seeks to investigate cultural consumption, explore how authentic culture is evaluated, and question the function of a national treasure, all through food, bartering, and audience assessment. Dr. Rhee’s Kimtschi Shop seeks to dismantle outdated and essentialist notions of a fixed cultural identity – while celebrating cultural tolerance and engaging conversations of multiculturalism in Berlin.
Dr. Rhee Kimtschi Shop took place at Das Gift in Berlin from 19 – 25 Nov. 2005 and was an interactive work in which audience members were invited to trade a national treasure from their own country or culture, for Kimtschi, a nationa treasure from Korea.
