It is a place where the discovery of the languages of contemporary art is juxtaposed with meditation on cuisine and the rules that dictate it.
“We can’t talk about cuisine by dividing it into innovative or tradition: that would be like defining 17th-century art as ‘better’ than contemporary art. It cannot be reduced to a simple aggregate of recipes, techniques and flavours. Indeed, cooking is a science that reveals the awareness that we are probing something marvellous, something that extends from the multiple aspects of an ingredient to an infinitely vast field of study. Cooking is theatricality and art, because it is art’s scientific method, the profound knowledge that merges emotion and language, experience and intuition, in a dialectic that Jorges Luis Borges would define as an iron coin. It is an art that Leibeniz would call pre-established harmony and that Einstein, in his advice to Planck, referred to as love for science, which seeks the elementary laws we need as humans in order to form a clear and simple image of the world, as a way to achieve the calmness and solidity denied by its eternal progression. It is the art that pertains to poets, painters, sculptors, musicians, thinkers and chefs, whose deeds and actions are tied to the place and time in which they occur, to their vision that is renewed and, through knowledge, becomes real and repeatable.”
