Project | 食用方法 ways of eating post post, Beijing
July 8-22, 2022
The exhibition showcases a range of publications and artistic works related to food, exploring its various dimensions from a broad perspective. It will delve into the complex interactions between food and concepts such as geopolitics, cultural economics, and history. In April 2022, food, as a fundamental element of supply and demand, once again triggered a public crisis. As we reassess the foundational value of food, what perspectives should we adopt to understand the underlying complex factors? While guidelines on the “correct” methods and quantities for consumption are prescribed, the looming crisis compels us to seek independent paths for survival. Historical experiences have repeatedly underscored the importance of sharing, which is a key focus of this exhibition.
The exhibition shares:
• Publications about food and art
• COOKBOOK OF THE PANDEMIC YEAR (fruits jam and recipes made by Rania Ho, bread masks made by Pu Yingwei, needlework by Amiko Li)
• Video screenings (Safeguarding the Curry Burger by Elia Nurvista, and The Shape of Appetite (2017) by Tang Han & Zhou Xiaopeng)
• Special events (Kombucha adoption event by Peter Chan, and our Ukraine friend Dana cooked the local Borscht Soup. She shared the history about this cuisine, chatting about the fight of Borscht Soup between Russia and Ukraine.
*All the sales that day were donated to Ukraine Charities.
