Tonight is the launch of a recent publication dust have designed.
FEAST is a series of publications presenting contemporary visual art and film works that explore our relationship with food as a social event, a marker of identity, a product of history and a commodity for trade. The publication combines articles on contemporary arts practices with recipes, film histories and literary narratives.
FEAST is an initiative by curator and researcher Laura Mansfield. The first edition of FEAST takes the theme of indulgence—over eating, sweet and sticky deserts, images of glistening food products and the tempting fast food of American movies. Visit the project blog at www.feastjournal.tumblr.com
Tonights launch takes place between 5-6.30pm in the Portico library, Manchester. An old Victorian library in the city centre, with the launch being held in one of the smaller reading rooms, beautiful setting for the publication.
