Raumlabor’s Küchenmonument, functioned as the place for numerous events, talks, discussions during the opening days of the Venice biennial.

Raumlabor also invited visitors to take part in producing a man-made-megastructure, called the generator. In an on-site workshop visitors could produce their own  “sedia veneziana”, which was then incorporate into a growing structure: “THE GENERATOR”.

The Kitchen Monument is a mobile sculpture which has two states of being. This zinc sheetclad sculpture can be extended into public space by a pneumatic spatial mantle that transforms it into a temporary collective space. Different programmes are staged in different places. Its broad spectrum of uses includes a banquet hall, conference room, cinema, concert hall, ballroom, dormitory, boxing arena and steam bath.
