A 4-days pop-up exhibition with the aim to raise awareness of avoidable food waste in our modern society and in our own environment and household. The project features a group of artists, that address this issue in their artwork which will be exhibited and presented to a broad audience. During the exhibition, additional installations, talks, and interactive learning elements will take the visitors on a journey that raises the awareness and – hopefully – kindles a change in their own habits.
The project is a cooperation between Improper Walls, a Viennese non-profit gallery, and Open IDEO Vienna Chapter, a group of local changemakers with the aim to create the impact through human-centered design projects and training.

Andrea Zapanta Scharf (Dre for short), is a Vienna-based illustrator and designer who originally hails from New York City.Her personal passion project Things Dre Makes came into fruition as a way to step away from the computer and get back to doing what she loves: drawing, making things by hand and sharing what she makes with others. If her drawings manage to put a smile on someone’s face, or inspire someone to see ordinary things in a different light, she considers her goal achieved. When she's not doodling in her sketchbook or playing the ukulele, she spends her time biking and enjoying the outdoors.

Pedro del Real Lavergne (Barcelona, 1990) is a person, who finds it difficult to talk about himself in the third person. He lives in Vienna, works in a carton boxes factory and spends much of his time writing, reading and watching Youtube videos about reptilian conspiracies. He is also a political scientist, but that has not helped him for much (economically).

"We are a new formed collective of brain-backflipped artists who are trying to expand and reflect the boundaries of the common known senses. Our self-styled mission here on planet Earth: to enlarge and incept the spectrum of the viewers minds. We are here to question everything we perceive within this five-dimensional world and we are still looking for the unpronounceable answer of the biggest mystery from day zero to this very moment."
