Food is God
“Food is God” is curated by a group of students and teachers of the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, under the direction of Prof. Wang.
The Sichuan Fine Arts Institute (SFAI) is the oldest art academy of higher level and one of the most prominent art academies of China, located in the Huxi Campus, Chongqing.
The Huxi Campus has a unique feature, that of having been able to keep inside the existing agricultural crops, incorporated into the Campus with their farms and settlements, at one with the new Academy buildings for teaching and research activities in the fields of arts: a totally original and unique combination of agricultural activities and activities of higher education, of tradition and modernity, of crops and culinary culture and artistic culture: and therefore a training institution in the fields of arts particularly suitable to face with the main issues of “All the World’s Futures” and of “Feeding the Planet”.
Quoting prof. Wang, “‘Food is God’ focuses on the most common yet vital issue of the daily life, eating. The exhibition blends tableware, furniture and other related dinning-related designs with videos, music and lightning in a contemporary way to show how art can derive from life by the mens of vision, touch, hearing and tasting”.
