“An Artist’s Guide to the Culinary” focuses on contemporary artistic practices of cookbook publishing. Taking the Netherlands as its point of departure, the project delves into the manifestation of environmental conditions, socio-economic and historical contexts, ecological change, and scientific speculation in cookbooks and artist-run culinary culture.
Amidst the growing international interest in (South-) East Asian art collectives and the prolonged lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, community-oriented art practice through collective cooking and eating has surged. This approach has brought a resurgence of food in art, after still-life painting in the 17th and 18th centuries and the radical art movements of the 1960s. In addition to collective cooking and eating, publishing cookbooks is also an alternative way of integrating artistic practices with everyday life.
This project, led by curator Yen-Ting Kuan and Limestone Books, will take place as a book fair, exhibition, book launch and picnic & talk. Participating artists and speakers are Jonas Palekas, Pei-Ying Lin, Walking Grass Agriculture, Eben Kirksey and Tzu-Tung Lee.
Date: 26 August- 11 September
Venue: Limestone Books, Grote Gracht 63, 6211 ST, Maastricht
