Artists’ Cookbook. In an early evening event at the CCA on 11 August the
curator will unveil a book that explores the cultural contexts and rituals
surrounding cooking and eating. The book focuses on cooking and eating as a
cornerstone of communal relations and this is explored through the artist
contributions. They reflect upon the unusual forms meals can take and their
ability to produce ritual in everyday life. Contributions have been gathered by from a
network of friends and colleagues including Mathieu Arbez, Frida Froberg, Ryan
Gander, Leo Jasperd Plomb and Elodie Merland. The book also includes an
interview with Adam Sutherland, Director Grizedale Artsm and an introduction by
Miranda Vane, artist and food historian. At the launch event artist and cook,
