Cooking Sections is Daniel Fernández Pascual (born in 1984) and Alon Schwabe (born in 1984), a London-based duo trained in architecture and visual arts, namely at Goldsmiths University in London.

Often engaged in long-term research driven projects, Cooking Sections examines the systems that organize the world through the politics of food. Using installation, performance, mapping and video, their work explores the overlapping boundaries between geopolitics, visual arts, and the built environment.

Cooking Sections’ work has been presented at Lafayette Anticipations in Paris (2018), Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York (2017), the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin (2014), the U.S. Pavilion for the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale, and DOCUMENTA (13) in 2012.

Cooking Sections is part of Manifesta 12 in Palermo. Their writing has been featured in a number of international magazines including e-flux magazine, Frieze magazine, and Volume as well as publications such as OfficeUS (Lars Müller) and Forensic Architecture (Sternberg Press). Their book The Empire Remains Shop (2018) is published by Columbia Books on Architecture and the City.

"I can tell you about the shape of the universe and the architecture of the skies, I know the patterns which connect us and the fire that lights up our souls…" says Barbara Carlotti in her song Radio Mentale Sentimentale. If music is a living wave made of abstract spreading curves, Barbara Carlotti certainly knows how to draw its shape. For that matter, her whispering on the radio tells as much as her songs and performances.

In 2012, she was a nominee at Victoires de la Musique. In 2013 and 2014, she produced the radio program Cosmic Fantaisie on France Inter. Her voice then guided us into futuristic islands and sonic outer space. Since 2015, she has been developing Dream Laboratories, based on music and literature, where she shares her oniric visions with friends like Christophe, Philippe Katerine, Juliette Armanet or the writer Jonathan Coe. Her 2018 album Magnétique questions our senses and our imagination in addictive ritournelles. It is an invitation to daydream, a soft-skinned record that allows magical worlds to unfold, a desire-infused universe that embarks you on an unforgettable journey.
