PROJEKT

ART N COOKING

As a student of the Städelschule, I see myself to some extent as linked with the tradition of cooking. Inspired by the idiosyncratic manner of a Kubelka, who established “filming and cooking” as a genre of art; but cooking seems to have arrived in society as an art form since the Catalan molecular chef Ferran Adrià was invited to documenta 2012 at the latest.

THE GUESTS

Art also always reflects society and its preferences and currents. The digital is also part of this – new forms of aesthetic evolve here entirely naturally.

I attempt to reflect this through a broad selection of creative contemporaries as guests. Both artists and people active in the art business have their say. Visual artists, writers, musicians, collectors, curators, actors, dancers and many more.
