The Art of the Dinner Party


Jennifer Rubell creates food projects that are a hybrid of performance and installation art. This particular occasion was a wedding at the Saatchi gallery where guests were invited to dine on unmade beds.


Oyster installation at the reception.

At the Brooklyn Museum Gala, a mountain of chips were served with tubes of mayonnaise in the background. Watch the video here.

Squeak Carnwath



I've loved Squeak Carnwath's work for a long long time. Leafing through her book always cheers me up. The book is now out of print but you might just get lucky enough to find one here.
