IN CONVERSATION WITH THE EDIBLE RUINS OF ANDREA FERRERO, THESE Objects of contemplation inspired by the Grand Tours taken in the 17th and 18th centuries STAND IN AS mementos from a forgotten past.
THE GRAND TOUR
ANDREA
FERRERO
ARCHITECTURAL DIGESTION
Andrea Ferrero (b. 1991, Lima, Peru) is a Mexico City-based artist whose work engages concepts of memory, culture, and power through the lens of hospitality and humor. Her edible sculptures in the forms of Greco-Roman ruins are meant to be activated, enjoyed, and, ultimately, digested.
In the Art/artefact Salon, Audra Kiewiet de Jonge worked with Ferrero’s signature edible sculptures in pink marbled white chocolate to create an environment that would bring the concepts of travel for pleasure and consumption of culture to life in a domestic environment.
