🍰The show was hosted in a basement of a non-functional and abandoned commercial steel kitchen. The address is 22 Putney High Street, SW15 1SL. On the ground floor of the venue is an art and vintage clothes shop called ‘Ministry of Art’. Here is the instagram of the organisation running the venue: ​​https://www.instagram.com/nicola.arts/

It is a unique experience for us to do a pop up show, in an abandoned kitchen covered in dust and trash just days before the exhibition, with no hanging systems whatsoever. We spent two afternoons removing the trash, cleaning the whole environment with alcohol and cleaning detergents.

There we found our paradise, a place without order, filled with limitations yet so free. We put paintings against the wall, hung sculptures with metal shelves, invited artists to create artworks with a purpose, being eaten. We only ask the important questions here in Muddy Mudlarks Curation,

'Is it art if it's edible?'

A thought inspired by a multitude of cultural elements encountered in the kind of niche that we find ourselves in. The Taiwanese expression 'Is it edible?' to express utilitarian concerns towards all kinds of desires and situations; The multi-million-dollar banana taped against a wall; The intrusive thoughts of touching an artwork or putting everything in the mouth; Or the constant doubt of the inherent value of an artwork upon being created.

Artists were invited to create works that are of two categories, edible food art, and non-edible food art. The result was an exhilarating collection of works that are of various mediums and sizes. Encompassing taxidermy, watermelon and condoms
