'Spanish Conceptual Gastronomy' a food talk by Ryan Bromley at KHOJ International Artists' Association, S-17, Khirkee Extension > 8pm on 26th March 2014
Time : 8:00 pm
Entry : Free (Seating on First-Come First-Served basis)
Event Description : 'Spanish Conceptual Gastronomy' a food talk by Ryan Bromley & Raqs Media Collective.
Synopsis: Since the rise of Ferran Adria’s seminal approach to cuisine Spain has led the world in conceptual gastronomy, where it continues to challenge our understanding of the edible, transform the institution of the restaurant, and expand the possibilities for the form and meaning of food. While art has always had an ambivalent attitude towards gastronomy, the multisensory material of food has often been utilised by artists. With the conceptual possibilities demonstrated by current practice in contemporary gastronomy, new questions emerge: can gastronomy participate in art? What conditions might apply? And, what is the distinctive contribution of food as an artistic material?. This event will begin with a presentation that introduces the most progressive directions in contemporary gastronomy and the critical issues that lay at the boundaries between gastronomy, art, and design; including forward-looking research from the disciplines of sensory science, cognitive studies, gastronomy and art. Following this, a discussion with Raqs Media Collective will unpack some of these issues and explore the possibilities of gastronomy as art, as well as the curatorial potential that such a material has to offer. During which time, questions with the audience will be fielded.
Ryan Bromley. A doctoral student at Oxford Brookes University, School of Arts and Humanities, Ryan Bromley is currently pioneering research on a justification for the physiological sense of taste in art. This research builds a theoretical foundation for taste within contemporary aesthetic philosophy and draws upon modernist cuisine and flavour chemistry as mediums to communicate complex concepts in practice within the fine arts. He previously studied BA International Relations and MSc Food Policy with an internship at the World Food Program, Rome and has worked as a professional chef for over a decade as well as in many other facets of the food industry.
The Raqs Media Collective enjoys playing a plurality of roles, often appearing as artists, occasionally as curators, sometimes as philosophical agent provocateurs. They make contemporary art, have made films, curated exhibitions, edited books, staged events, collaborated with architects, computer programmers, writers and theatre directors and have founded processes that have left deep impacts on contemporary culture in India. Raqs (pron. rux) follows its self declared imperative of 'kinetic contemplation' to produce a trajectory that is restless in terms of the forms and methods that it deploys even as it achieves a consistency of speculative procedures.
