The Land of Cockaigne is a mini utopia of pink dreams and acid rain. In Cockaigne everyone will get their own sweet piece of the pie.

The idea of Cockaigne is from a 13th Century French poem, describing a mystical land of plenty. In Cockaigne "the houses were made of barley sugar cakes, the streets were paved with pastry, and the shops supplied goods for nothing." In our time, when we already have everything, but need to continue consuming, it is so important to provide society with the opportunity for new seductive illusory experiences.

Katya Quel is a Berlin based artist and curator, her colourful multi-media works explores dreamlike romantic narratives. Quel’s practice connects underground and pop culture, nature and technology, words and coloured masses, crafty and conceptual artistic approaches, design and art, realm, and fantasm. Her work aims to create worlds in fairy tales and creatures in universes that aim to surpass the traditional canons and reveal new methods of artistic self-placement rooted in subculture.

This exhibition will continue the great work of the House of Illuminati and their event Wonka event in Glasgow, Scotland, their work is extremely important for the community!
