••• El Internacional, the art restaurant that predated El Teddy’s at 219 W. Broadway, was recreated as a site-specific installation at the Faena Art Center in Buenos Aires. According to Loqueva (translated by Google), El Internacional “is an artistic project and social experiment that took place in the Tribeca neighborhood of Manhattan, New York from 1984 to 1986. During this time, the restaurant served as a space for the bold exploration of transcultural and transdisciplinary aesthetics, merging contexts of contemporary art and cuisine. It became an iconic symbol of the New York of the 1980s, a decade in which nightlife and epicurean were placed in the same context as the visual and performing arts, a fusion that finally defined that time and space. Miralda and El Internacional were at the center of this vanguard moment in which artists did not distinguish between disciplines, but were more interested in creating platforms for social interaction and lived experience, leading the way for the current spirit of the facilities of immersive and participatory art.” Photo by Peter Aaron.
