PROEVEN#

PROEVEN#
self initiated project 2014-2017

The PROEVEN# were a 4-year series of interactive video-nights where we investigate everyday food phenomena together with the audience. From now on, you can book your own customised PROEF#-night for groups of min. 12 people.

“Proeven” means tasting as well as testing, which are both perfect investigation tools.
A typical PROEVEN# evening consists of a few blocks of short videos with an experiment at the end of each block. Guests actively participate in these experiments. Each evening has a food-related theme (basically anything) and an external guest-curator who is an expert in that field. Together with the guest-curator, the Kompanen present an overview of what is happening within that field and present it to the guests in any media form, preferably online instruction videos. We collect all the necessary equipment and knowledge to perform the resulting experiments, but we DON’t test results beforehand. This creates an atmosphere were it is OK to fail, share knowledge and discover together.

Experimental as they are, the evenings involve enough food for your daily evening dose and we always aim for a tasty ending.
