01 CROSS/CONSUMPTION

01.24/06.24

(In)Authenticating gastronomy:
Cross/Consumption explores the usage of ‘authenticity’ in food critique and the myth of cultural purity in gastronomic heritage, taking the ephemeral menu and consolidating a didactic archive of stereotyped symbols found on them. In so doing, it acknowledges the necessity for minority groups to self-stereotype (a process known as strategic essentialism) in the curation of physical menus, the dining experience, and the food that is served.

Cross/Consumption operates simultaneously as unbound publication and interactive exhibition space, soliciting self-assembly and customization
and allowing for unique browsing experiences and varied interpretations.
