A Transcendental Tiny Restaurant Experience

Taking Stock is a transcendental broth-powered sauna experience created by interdisciplinary artist Bethany J. Fellows in collaboration with James Paul.

Be guided through a multi-sensory meditation while sipping on an umami broth in this custom-built installation. Rest, rejuvenate and contemplate the horror of existence as Narrm slips into the depths of winter.
Powered through conventional cooking and kitchen equipment, induction stovetops heat large pots of simmering broth specially prepared for the event. Designed for only eight people at a time, engage your senses in this sonic, visual and visceral experience like no other.
