Fondazione Malutta: Amuse Bouche

Bea Vita presents “Amuse Bouche”, an exhibition dedicated to the Fondazione Malutta collective. This ongoing, work-in-progress project involves the gradual accumulation of objects and elements over the six-month duration of the show, with a continuous expansion of artworks and participating artists.

“The works on display represent plates, ingredients, and ‘banquets’ painted by the involved artists, each with their own visual and poetic language. But there’s more: throughout the exhibition, the number of paintings grows, as if the artistic and human desire to ‘add’ never ends. Every week, new painted plates are added to those already on display, transforming the exhibition space into an ever-expanding banquet, a living and ever-changing work that reflects our relationship with food, pleasure, and accumulation. This exhibition invites the viewer to reflect on the relationship between satiety and hunger, between satisfaction and the desire for more. In an era where consumption and production are often excessive, the continuous increase in paintings becomes a powerful metaphor: how much can we accumulate before reaching a limit? Is there really a limit to our desire?”
