food pati hertling performance space
Pati Hertling, a former restitution lawyer turned art-world fixture, has spent over two decades blending cooking with collaboration in her artistic practice. Since 2023, she has co-led Performance Space in New York's East Village alongside Taja Cheek and Ana Beatriz Sepúlveda, where she serves meals like steaks or grilled salmon to accompany gatherings. Hertling first gained prominence through her "Evas Arche und der Feminist" art salons in Berlin and New York, which offered soup and bread alongside visual art and live performances, creating a communal atmosphere that transformed attendees from bystanders into participants.
