Howling Spoon Performance K¡tchen, Kinning Park Complex, Glasgow, January 2016

Howling Spoon is an international revolt of conscious-cutlery. They howl for every spoon who cannot howl for themselves. The movement was founded by a spoon who looks a lot like Huge Sillytoe and two other spoons who look a lot like al&dog.

As broth burps bubbles above a flame, Howling Spoon stir up performances with a chaotic surface, pitting joy against power. Their principal activities include roaming spoon walks raising awareness of the spoon resistance across urban and rural settings and performance k¡tchens wherein a large vegan meal is prepared from reclaimed ingredients collected from the waste of local greengrocers and distributed for free alongside a platter of participatory spoon performances.

Howling Spoon were delighted to receive the support of and form part of the line-up of the Cooking Pot programme at Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts in 2016 in collaboration with Kinning Park Complex and Glasgow Autonomous Space. Their journey through space, place, and time (SPT) continues.
