Croquembouches at Storefront for Art & Architecture, NYC

As part of the exhibition BEING , Storefront presented DISRUPT: Croquembouches, an installation-banquet on the connections and connotations between Food and Architecture. The event follow a day-long installation by Savinien Carcostea, which included an 9-foot tall cone of Croquembouches, a traditional French dessert, that was on display at Storefront’s gallery throughout the day and was offered to visitors from 6-7pm. 

 The conversation raised the points of contact between food and architecture: From the social and political connotations of what, how, and where we eat, to the similarities and differences of the research and distribution processes, to the performativity of the act of eating as a way of producing bubbles of negotiation. The conversation include contributions by Jan Aman, Levan Asabashvili, Edward Eigen, and Yehuda Safran, among others.

7,000 Croquembouches were available for consumption.

This event was free and open to the public.
