Global Street Food Exhibit at Vitra Design Museum; Weil am Rhein, Germany
Global Street Food, an exhibition curated by Mike Meiré, features the accoutrements of various "improvised kitchens" from around the world, like this coffee cart from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Set up as works of art in a gallery, they're almost indistinguishable from sculptures like Marcel Duchamp's readymades—especially "Grill," from Kampala, Uganda (third photo).
The exhibit is on display until July 12 at the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany. [via Kottke]

Looks like something that the homeless push around...

As I was scrolling the page down to the picture underneath the title, I immediately recognized the carts that populated the streets of Buenos Aires when I was growing up. And for nostalgic reasons, every time I find myself back there, I usually buy a cup of "mate cocido" off these carts.
