No Choice Restaurant

Dennis Tyfus x Kitchen Stories

For Patronising Exercises in Reasoning, Tyfus expands his No Choice practice at NW: a research strategy that does not so much deny choice as examine how choices are imposed and shaped. Rules constrain, but they also reveal room for surprise and unexpected experiences. The exhibition unfolds across three interconnected explorations. In the No Choice Restaurant visitors surrender to what is served: the chefs decide the menu, presentation, and context.

The No Choice Restaurant is a collaboration with Kitchen Stories, NW’s open-kitchen project. It is an artistic project and not a restaurant in the conventional sense of the word. Food is served only in conjunction with other events on the NW programme:
