Publication, Enjoy Public Art Gallery.
First published in December 2010
A publication documenting a group project at Enjoy Gallery. Enjoy requested submissions of recipes and then invited artistic
responses either directly to those recipes or to the show as a whole. The resulting book brings these recipes and responses together
in a way that reflects the open-ended process that had initiated them.
A bit like the kind of thing you might find in many kitchens —
an unpredictable collection of recipes and other clippings — a collection that is added to and expands and grows over time.
Drawing further on the project’s domestic origins, each book is bound with a spring clip and covered with an individual swatch of fabric.
From the Enjoy blog: “The Enjoy Trust has taken hold of the gallery space for a month, during this time they will be working
on a project that celebrates Enjoy's social, inclusive and community-focused spirit, through Enjoy Recipes Illustrated (A Cookbook In Progress).
Readers of the Enjoy Blog may have noticed that for the past few weeks recipes have been appearing. These recipe submissions are in preparation for the
Enjoy Trust’s curated project, during which time familiar and new members of the Enjoy community have the opportunity to partake in the construction
of an art/recipe book through an open call for artistic responses to any selected recipe. Food is a basic, yet pleasurable necessity, and is something
we can all relate to. We all have to cook at some point and cooking is after all a creative endeavour.”
