Science Gallery Serves Up “A Taste of Things to Come”
As members of the Center for Genomic Gastronomy, Zack Denfeld (MFA 2007) and Cat Kramer have curated a new exhibition for the Science Gallery at Trinity College, Dublin which opens Feb. 9th 2012.
Edible: a Taste of Things to Come will explore how we reshape the planet through the food choices we make. The Center for Genomic Gastronomy have assembled a diverse group of artists, scientists, restaurateurs and foodies whose work is set to challenge our perception of what ‘edible’ really means. The show runs through the biodiversity of the kitchen and includes ingredients like mutagenic peppermint, transgenic zebrafish, 8 fermenting fruits, 10 heirloom potatoes and desserts that let you taste smog. The exhibition also includes 3‑D printed insect snacks, an edible wall of seaweed and a range of centrifuged foods. At twice-daily feeding times, visitors will have a chance to sink their teeth into a vegan version of the cruelest recipe ever invented, dine on the kimchi quesadilla and sample other recipes especially created for EDIBLE by artists, chefs and scientists.
