More of a book than a catalog, this work reflects the sum total of research carried out around the exhibitions Convivio (or culinary plasticity) and Laeticia in convivio, respectively organized by the contemporary art center Micro Onde and the cneai.
The central theme is the literary and plastic figure of the banquet, to which a number of other themes have been added, including festivity, communality and addressing others. The idea of a “culinary plastic” was probably proposed by writer and art critic Félix Fénéon in 1922.
