Résumé:
Cookery has never been so high on the agenda of Western popular culture. And yet the endlessly-multiplying TV shows, the obsessive interest in the provenance of ingredients, and the celebration of ‘radical’ experiments in gastronomy, tell us little about the nature of the culinary. Is it possible to maintain that cookery has a philosophical pertinence without merely appending philosophy to our burgeoning gastroculture? How might the everyday sense of the culinary be expanded into a philosophy of ‘culinary materialism’ wherein synthesis, experimentation, and operations of mixing and blending take precedence over analysis, subtraction and axiomatisation? Drawing on resources ranging from anthropology to chemistry, from hermetic alchemy to contemporary mathematics, "Collapse VII: culinary materialism" undertakes a trans-modal experiment in culinary thinking. A wide range of contributors including philosophers, chefs, artists, historians, and synaesthetes examine the cultural, industrial, physiological, alchemical and even cosmic dimensions of cookery, and propose new models of culinary thought for the future.

Résumé:
El Internacional Tapas Bar & Restaurant was conceived as an artistic project carried out between 1984 and 1986 by artist Antoni Miralda (born 1942) and chef Montse Guillén (born 1946) in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York City. One of the first restaurants to introduce Spanish tapas in the United States, El Internacional quickly became a cultural icon and a creative hub of New York’s downtown in the 1980s. It combined the social ritual of eating with installation and performance art, blurring the boundaries between food, art, design, architecture and mass media. Miralda’s El Internacional (1984–1986) documents the restaurant’s history through the memories of the people who contributed to it. Richly illustrated and featuring some of El Internacional’s most successful recipes, this volume tells the story of a crucial piece of urban history from a city not always able to protect its landmarks.

Depuis plusieurs années, Anthony Duchêne s’intéresse à l’univers des sensations, gustatives, olfactives, visuelles et tactiles. Entrecroisant les domaines rationnels et ceux des sciences humaines, l’artiste évoque par ses réalisations des figures d’hybridations et de mutations d’espèces végétales et animales à partir desquelles il imagine des combinaisons inédites. Il provoque des rapprochements de parties animales, de matériaux et de composants disparates qui, visuellement, apparaissent soutenus par une logique organique, mais ne sont en réalité que des leurres, des faux-semblants.

Résumé:
EOOS takes forty kitchen utensils and uses them to reconfigure the entire world of the kitchen. Away from the well-trodden path of design theory and design history - with all its stylistic histories and theories borrowed from sociology and ethnography - EOOS deploys Poetical Analysis to describe the creative process of design and usage of objects. This design philosophy seeks out intuitive images, rituals and myths serving as a point of departure for the creative process. Ancient myths meet with today's high tech. EOOS is able to do justice to the complex background of theory and practice.
