Current exhibition in artKitchen Gallery: Eat your Art Out!
A collaboration between Galerie A and artKitchen Gallery

Where does one draw the line between everyday life and art? Is the ritual of preparing a dinner for one’s lover not art? Is the dedication of our mothers and grandmothers to the art of preparing food not something we should both honour and cultivate? We do eat everyday, often without even thinking about it, but sometimes with a lot of attention. Eating is one of our first necessities, with which we can either heal or cause damage to ourselves. When consuming food, we also influence our environment.

For quite a while now, Galerie A and artKitchen gallery have been establishing a link between art and food. The inauguration of every exhibition in the latter is always accompanied by a sumptuous dinner. The gallery becomes a kitchen and the ingredients are converted into a work of art. These edible works of art are controversial, appetizing, thoughtful and playful. Food is thus an essential part of the presentations in artKitchen gallery, true to its name! The group show at the fair and the publication of this special book, all in close cooperation with Galerie A, is yet another logical step on our chosen road. Both galleries asked their artists to contribute with a work of art questioning our behaviour regarding eating, food or cooking, each according to their respective background. We also contacted a great many internationally acclaimed artists for whom food is a major theme in their output.
artKitchen gallery and Galerie A proudly present this ‘art cookbook’, a synergy between art and food including all aspects of the boundary between these two necessities of life.
Food for the body, the soul and the spirit!
