Food : produire, manger, consommer
37 artists from five continents present the fruits of their labours on the different questions and issues linked directly or indirectly to food : the consequences of climate change, the poisoning of agricultural produce, unequal distribution of food, soil conservation, choice of foods, cuisines and rituals of eating and sharing food.
Among them, five artists- John Armleder, Stefano Boccalini, Antoni Miralda, Angelo Plessas, Barthélémy Toguo- present original installations with key objects chosen from the Mucem collections.
The ensemble creates a multidisciplinary dialogue that includes historical and contemporary works as well as everyday objects.
