The Art Food project concentrates on the relationships between form and taste, form and gesture, form and intention. The students of Domestic Design at the School of Form were given the task to  create a form of a pure beauty which would inspire the chef to prepare a dish dedicated for this vessel. They were investigating and discussing the topic with the anthropologist Dr. Ewa Klekot, the renown chef Wojciech Amaro, who was the first Pole to receive a Michelin star, as well as designers and organizers of mass events. They scrutinized human behavior as well as forms created by nature. They asked questions and observed. At the same time, supervised by Marek Cecula, who lead the project, they explored the art of ceramics: form, porcelain molding and firing.

A new journey began once they had sought and found solutions and finally formed the prototypes of the “food carriers”. They learnt how to adjust their ideas to the requirements of mass production. In 2013 the students from School of Form, together with students from the Royal College of Art (six persons from each school) spent three weeks of July in the Ćmielów Porcelain Factory - the oldest fine porcelain manufacturer in Poland, established in 1790. In 2014 the project was further developed and students from the Pratt Institute collaborated with students from  Central St. Martens and The Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw under the supervision of Marek Cecula.  

Marek Cecula will be present at the opening and give a presentation of the project.

With the support of the Polish Institute.
