Transgression as following rule


What drives a twenty years old girl to crucify a raw chicken and to display it in a glass case, then stacking it with other caskets containing or a vegetarian meal that seems regurgitated but, sadly, it is not, or rather the appalling waste of pastries made with potatoes and a sauce that seems to menstruation?
The answer is nothing, if not required her to validate the time sheet, a miserable motivation for the students that, if they chose an expensive art school, it is assumed that they’re interesting in the happening….
But we take a step back:
I was invited to attend a performance of the Fluxus group.
Fluxus was a group of international artists, new dada, who found in Maciunas a reference point. The designer was able to bring together artists from the United States, Europe and the Far East. Initiatives and projects have extended beyond art to achieve political and socio-cultural engagement, looking for a better world and raising awareness of people as individuals.
Were the fabulous 50s and 60s and 70s and be rebels or utopians was a lucrative business as another.
Fluxus is an idea that claims the artistic potential of the most common and basic gestures and promotes the intrusion in the creative flow of everyday life (hence the name of the movement). The aim is to create a total art that focuses on music, dance, poetry, theater and performance, with the birth of the "happening" here takes on different art forms, and unconventional libertarian, with public participation .
In the absence of Duchamp and  Maciunas, who sent a note of apology, but both had unavoidable commitments, there were mini Fluxus to performer who, cutes cutes, during the Fluxus dinner, set up in the bar of the Naba, Nabari for those who want to rage further, they have served various dishes counterclockwise (so rebel!), from canned fruit in syrup, to canned vegetables and baked beans until the main course: mussels and boiled eggs, "which color combination is a powerful symbol of the movement’s colors," explained the teacher to the pupils.
The central part of the performance consisted logically in observing the invited’s  behavior to grips with the cans to open, and despite all the merits you could have, never overstimate you faced with a manual can opener, the bread to break and reports entertained during the banquet,the performance was the flow of time within which the actions took place, the time was the work.
After dinner the steward has revealed the antic secret of the odd in the course.
"You have destroyed works of art (Which may I ask?), You have participated in a happening, (hurrà!)"
If it were limited to this end I probably would have inserted the evening under the heading
"Banality prevailing posing as art"
However, the final gag comedy in which guests were called upon to vote by show of hands the "works" made by students of the new Academy of Fine Arts, which  I dispassionately board to introduce a placement test if at least one Rorschach test.
Students had great difficulty remembering what they had created, since the design thickness of which the works were infused, and they found it hard to raise his hand even before the possibility that this was the only chance to get even one vote. I suppose this failure was due to the fact that the teacher had innocently escape that an hand show didn’t count for the average, big mistake!
The honor and glory’s  winner was a girl who had crucified a raw chicken, with 99 votes out of 100, the missing one was mine, hers teammates were stunned in the face of such great irreverence and transgression, anything had never seen crucifing since INRI times. The artist, after realizing that the chicken was hers, tried to motivate hers expression, which failed because of it implied the concept to arrange some syllables, so, finally,  using  colorful slang language, her claimed art for art, and hers friends have applauded.
The runner had presented a brain, if he had written on “dick” he would come first.

malbouffe-junk design


What is now regarded as food design or fashion  food does not always deserve this title: In this generalized freedom system, the individual is no longer locked in a specific art, there are no more artists or designers, but people who, among other things, makes also some art or some design.
And here we may drive crazy, running through the many producers of terrible shape crokery and dishes;again the most horriblel food combination  are considered experimental, because rather than let the spirit die in  taste is  preferable  to dim it in the progress;the food festivals that open the door to anyone, unfortunately, thinks to have something to say,  pregnant women who open a blog and prepare cup-cake as the mothers of the tv-series, heiresses who open restaurants and again television programs that go,shameless, beyond the limits of the trash.

Food is/as/for/like/no Food

Food design, eating art, foodarch, food-scapes, among the many meanings wich the "food" means and means us, we have not to forget that  "food" means, first of all, "food", a word that defines the field.
The "food" is a desire masked by need. The definition of "food" is representative of meanings multipurpose but collectively remains "food" in its first universal significance



Food design, eating art, architettura alimentare, food-scapes, tra gli innumerevoli significati di cui il "Food" si carica e ci carica, non dimentichiamoci che è innanzitutto "food", una parola che definisce la materia
 Il "food" è un desiderio mascherato da bisogno. La definizione di "food" è rappresentativa di significati plurimi ma a livello collettivo rimane "food" nel suo primo significato universale.

Bleary eyewash for mullet's eyes mordiefuggi.tumblr.com





Languid eyes, loving eyes, eyes dazed.Or a simple problem of conjunctivitis for too long understimated.Nothing that can not be solved with a good eye drops, which (albeit a sentimental problem) could also revive the libido of the poor fish, which will begin to show a different shade, hopefully before the last breath.


INGREDIENTS
-A bunch of rocket
-A handful of pine nuts
-A finger of saffron
-A palm of flour
-A generous of oil


Chop the rocket and put it to marinate in extra virgin olive oil, for an hour about.
When the rocket will be  macerated added it the
 flour and mix to obtain a compact sauceGrind the pine nuts and toast them in a frying pan and add the flour mixture of oil and rocket.Add the saffron  and let cook for at least a for a quarter.Strain the sauce through a sieve to remove debris and stored in a suitable jar.The eyewash will keep for 3 / 4 days in the fridge but to fully enjoy the aphrodisiac properties of rocket and saffron  the  best will be eat immediately with fish, white meats, soft cheeses, boiled vegetables andevery kind of sad and agonizing  food that comes to  your mind.

cemetery food


All the saints, all the dead, all satiated. 
Families collect themselves around the table in order to eat harmony's substitutes, accomplices maindishes full of fat, calories and tradition, their same names are rough, popular, because the  culinary chastes want that  the popular ones to pose like big-eating and food-loving , while the new bourgeoisie feeds themselves of Saint anorexia and Sashimi. 
I refused the plate of the festivity because I found it not sensual-eating.
I am referred to it as  to a lover fat and spread  that also the touch-feeling would not be able to reassess. I choose to eat a toast: two linear parallelepiped, light, an  unequivocal perfume, warm, strands of taste that drip, asking to be licking, by your  lips and by your fingers,and  with your lips and with your fingers, and a  pink slice in the middle, hidden, closes the system, and the first bite has the same ardour of the first lapped.
The link between food and sex is archaic and inseparable, now, as a manic, I attach  each single bite to a  pulse.
The food penetrates the barrier of the body, we leave that it penetrates, but when the penetration comes by other hands what happens? As we would do if someone penetrates us like when we were children?
Few days ago I attended a friendly eating-event by a group of food designer who performs the beauty of laziness inviting people to let itself put to one's mouth;a simple exercise, but at the same time a call for the confidence on the part of the invited, who have put their mouth in the hands of those foodiste. intimate and infant, simple and sensual.

"A moment exists in which the food is made beautiful, cause, even if nobody tells , beautiful and good are the same thing."

This is not a recipes blog, and I'm not a cool cook.
I'm only a person with a deep interest in food and cultural studies.
I'm fashinating by the relationship between people and food, the world's oldest relationship.
I learned to cook by my father,he's an old-style cook,for him the importance of food  lies in the taste.
The taste for me is the atmosphere triggered by food.
