La Asociación Cultural Española y la Embajada de
España en Ottawa presentan, desde el 11 de junio al 10 de agosto en el Design
Exchange, 234 Bay St., (cerca de la estación del metro de King), Toronto, una
importante exposición gratuita, titulada TAPAS – Spanish Design for Food.
Este es su texto explicando la relación de diseño, arte, cocina, utensilios, etc.:
This exhibition
provides a rich panorama of the most recent Spanish design as applied to
cuisine, a creative taster menu of 'tapas' from all the fields in which design
plays a role in the act of eating.
Curated by Juli
Capella and organized by Acción Cultural Española (AC/E), TAPAS showcases imagination and
talent targeting the taste buds, where design and haute cuisine go hand in
hand. Spanish chefs, designers, architects, wineries and restaurants reflect
the last 25 years of Spain’s avant-garde experimental blending of design and
food.
The exhibition is
divided in three sections: the kitchen, about preparation and utensils; the
table, for objects used to sample food; and the meal, on food design. Legendary
culinary icons from Spain are also featured, including the paella pan,
traditional wineskins and flasks, the
bota, botijo and porrón. To complement the more than
two hundred objects on display, TAPAS
includes a large collection of wine bottles which stand out for their bold and
appealing labels, and audiovisual presentations featuring a selection of
interior design in Spanish restaurants and a selection of wineries from across
Spain which stand out for the quality of their architecture, including works by
Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid and Rafael Moneo.
A festival of shapes
and materials in the most diverse styles, nourished from a rich store of
ingenuity, experimentation and sensuality, TAPAS reflects Spain’s ability to incorporate design and
creativity as characteristic values of cuisine and gastronomy.
