Transylvania University art professor Kurt Gohde has received a Fulbright award to hand-carve a series of wooden coffee spoons in Romania\u2019s Transylvania region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project will give people a chance to \u201chave coffee with\u201d notable figures from the country\u2019s cultural past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gohde will be hosted by the T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219 University of Arts while he works on the project, which is sponsored by the Ultra Salix Cultural Association in T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative extends a personal artistic project Gohde began several years ago after collecting a fallen branch from a tree that once stood near poet Allen Ginsberg\u2019s home in upstate New York. He carved the wood into coffee scoops and has since gathered branches from trees associated with other historical figures, including Flannery O\u2019Connor, Walt Whitman, Shirley Jackson, Henry David Thoreau, John Steinbeck and Jack London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, these spoons will be utilized by people who want to \u2018share a coffee\u2019 with the people who lived alongside the trees,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is a project that acknowledges the ability trees have to bring in, contain and hold the lives of (even the nutrients from) the people and animals who live around them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fittingly for a professor at Transylvania, Gohde had already forged a connection to the region in Romania from studying traditional decorative wood carving on historic homes; he drew particular inspiration from sculptor Constantin Br\u00e2ncu\u0219i. The 18-day research trip last summer was supported by a David and Betty Jones Faculty Development Grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gohde plans to identify historical Romanians who contemporary locals would most like to \u201chave coffee with\u201d for the Fulbright project. He will then locate trees that stood near where they lived and carve custom spoons that reference them. He also plans to collaborate with area coffee roasters to create special roasts specifically for serving with the spoons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne scoop will be left with a coffee shop in that town, where they can use it to serve coffee for folks who want to have coffee with that person, and another will be housed at the Ultra Salix Cultural Association in T\u00e2rgu Mure\u015f,\u201d Gohde noted. \u201cAs a sponsor of my Fulbright, Ultra Salix Cultural Association will receive a full collection of the spoons I create while in Romania.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is rooted in a familiar question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is not uncommon to hear a conversation beginning with: \u2018If you could have coffee with anyone throughout history, who would it be?\u2019\u201d Gohde said. \u201cThis project is built around that question \u2014 using the wood from trees that were witness to the lives of interesting people from the past to create coffee spoons that will perhaps contain some of that person\u2019s way of being in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
