OPEN KITCHEN - 001 ASSEMBLY
“Open Kitchen - Assembly” aims to raise timely social questions through the analogy between contemporary art and food preparation as the former is increasingly interwoven with social interaction and is becoming more and more transparent and “open.” The recent popularity of open kitchens (against traditional closed-up kitchens) extends the traditional food experience into what happens before the completion of assemblage, comparable to how contemporary art is expanding to assimilating the process of sourcing and art-making into the final presentation. This diasporic ideology requires our attention to focus not solely on what is present to us at the last moment but split into everything that is possibly “open” to us. We are humbly sharing what might be unexpected, as long as your appetite is primed for uncertainties.
