The Cooking of Painting

On the 29th of  April a group of our students  visited the exhibition ‘The cooking of Painting’  within the conference ‘Art and Gastronomy’ organised by the Valencian Museum of Modern Art (IVAM).

The exhibition presents a new review of the relationship between the fine arts and the cuisine, combining contemporary art and classical works, making room to creative and innovative modalities. Paintings, installations, videos, photographs, drawings and sculptures, belonging to the collections of IVAM, the Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Ceramics make up the exhibition.

After enjoying these works of art, we participated in the workshop ‘Art and Gastronomy’ where we became creators of our own culinary pieces of art. We  could reinterpret some paintings of the exhibition, mainly still lifes, using cooking ingredients, such as cinnamon, parsley, sugar, vegetables, etc.

All in all, a very pleasant and enriching experience.
