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. 9^th 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.
