Last Thursday night, I attended one of my favorite parties of the year: Taste 2008. Taste is a fundraiser for
Root Division — an organization here in San Francisco — that provides studio space for up-and-coming artists in exchange for their services as art teachers. Food and art expertly clash at this event that invited some of SF's top restaurants to create dishes.
This morning I asked you if you would
eat a Marmite sandwich. Imagine my surprise when just a few hours later I discovered that London-based artist, Jeremy Fattorini, has created a giant sculpture made from it. His sculpture, which is a replica of Rodin's The Kiss, is 7-ft.
I was checking out some of my
favorite websites when I came across these photographs by London based artist
Carl Warner. His series called Foodscapes are wonderfully intriguing. Everything in the photos are made completely out of food.
British food artist
Prudence Emma Staite has a new exhibit up at the
Museum of London. This time the experimental artist has created sculptures of the Colosseum, Spanish Steps and Pope Benedict XVI using enough dough to make 500 pizzas. Her exhibit will be
on display until November 13.
Each piece is handcrafted and baked by Staite, but personally, I want to see the oven she baked these in!
Be sure to check out the gallery below.
Berlin-based Russian artist Julia Kissina's early photographs bring a new meaning to the phrase Meathead. In her 1997 series, entitled
Feen — which means fairies in German — she shows several young girls and ladies wearing raw meat as wigs. That's right, they're meat hair fairies.
