De la Fourche au Four à la Fourchette, Broke the Plate: A cuisine performance.
AZ, 306 Maujer
About the Performance
De la Fourche au Four à la Fourchette, Broke the Plate is a cuisine performance featuring artists Matthew Lutz-Kinoy and Natsuko Uchino in collaboration with Zoli Kitchen.
Conceived as an interdisciplinary performance, the program interrogates the historical and material lineages of applied arts, mapping a trajectory from agricultural labor (“la fourche”) to the kiln (“le four”) and on to the domestic sphere (“la fourchette”). The domestic rituals of cooking and the utility of pottery are approached as critical strategies, transforming the gallery into a site of “post relational aesthetic hospitality.”
De la Fourche au Four à la Fourchette, Broke the Plate is a forty-five-minute performance collaboration with Zoli Kitchen featuring light food.
