| feral trade grappa |
| A kitchen style rakija (Croatian for grappa) sourced direct from its infusion lab in the home of Mrs Danica Kuzmanovic, Pula, Croatia. The clear grape spirit is made by friends who own local vineyards. The late Mr Nika Kuzmanovic, a physicist of Serbian origin, had difficulty finding work in Pula during the war in the 90's and started bartering his programming skills for sustenance products such as bread, meat and grappa. After Nika's death in 2007, Danica took over the production of infusions. Infused grappa is a way to preserve the herbs and fruit from the rich Istrian landscape. Seasonal flavours incude Jujube, Blackhorn, Walnut, Fig, Carob, Travarica, Sage and Honey, Fennel, Lemongrass, Limoncello, Misteltoe, Quince and Cornelian Cherry Dogwood flavoured.

| | Courier Report FER-1331 DISPATCHED: 26/06/07 DELIVERED: 15/07/07 maja kuzmanovic 26/7 at 11:30 departed from the N&D Grappa Lab to the airport by car. Arrived at noon. Walked from the parking lot to the airport terminal and checked in the bag (19.8kg). The flight was due to depart at 13:40 but was delayed for an hour. Arrived in Amsterdam at 16.15, waited for bags until 16.45, got some groceries and bboarded the train to Brussels at 17.42. Sat in the corridor, a person fell over my suitcase and manage not to squash the bottles. A kind man offered to lift my bags to the luggage rack, but I told him I couldn't get them down on my own, so i sat with my legs on top of the suitcase, in a packed train, for nearly hours. I called Nik Gaffney to pick me up from the station to help carry the bags (there were other 'home shopping items in my bags beside the grappa - kajmak, mushrooms, truffles, pumpkin oil and wild asparagus being the heaviest of all. Walked from the Brussels North train station to Rogier Metro Station for 10 minutes. Got on the metro nr 2 direction Simonis. Got off at Ribaucourt and walked home on Rue Jennart for another 5 minutes. I was at home at 9PM. After a few days, arranged transport to London with Lina. On the 30th of July I walked to the FoAM studio on Koolmijnenkaai 30-34 in Brussels and repacked some of the leaking grappa bottles. At 3 PM, Bart van de Put offered to take the bottles by bike to Lina's house, on Plantenstraat in Brussels. |
kate rich 12/7 travelled newcastle-london by gner trains, noon departure. Arrived kings cross station at 15h, not raining. Walked cross-town to save boring descent into london underground for the sake of 2 tube stations, to holborn where the grappa was depoted with carole collet in the textiles department at central st martins. Pickup coordinated by SMS. Waited at security & carole came down to hand over the cargo, we had a brief chat and self-introductions. from here I caught the tube to mile end, very steamy despite cool temperatures above ground. 1/2 way there the tube paused at the platform for about 20 minutes due to a fire on the line at leynstone, then resumed. I alighted at mile end and walked a few blocks to the chisenhale gallery to do a consultation with lottie child on her street training residency (walking as a martial art). after the consultation, lottie offered to help with now excessive bags (camping gear from skye; bits of cube-cola lab from newcastle; other personal effects) and we walked back to mile end tube and travelled underground to mansion house, crossing southwark bridge to the southwark rose hotel where the grappa was depoted overnight in room 408. 13/7 walked the grappa to tate modern for a brief public appearance in the disrupting narratives symposium http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/eventseducation/symposia/8896.htm, which was webcast and subsequently archived. entered via staff entrance and took corridors plus stairs to the starr auditorium 2nd floor; grappa stashed by podium.
