Art For Lunch

Ingrid Falk (Swedish) and Gustavo Aguerre (Argentinean) are two artists who make art using toast.

From their website the work entitled “Toaster” is displayed below:

“Bread and food in all forms and meanings are recurrent themes in the work of Falk and Aguerre. They reoccur throughout the years in different projects, prepared, tasted and eaten in different ways, taking advantage of the subconsciously symbolic tension which most people associate with food. The confrontation which is found within the unexpected uses of this symbol, food, causes unease, anguish or revulsion.”

It was created for the Buenos Aires Biennial and then acquired by the Modern Art Museum of Buenos Aires (MALBA) and made part of its permanent collection.

“The Toaster is a large picture, 5 meter wide and 4.5 meter high, totally made from slices of bread toasted in different lengths of time to reach the nuances between black and white, ochre and rust. It took several days of work and several friends and their toasters to prepare the 2.500 pieces of toast necessary to build the gigantic mosaic, which reproduce a photograph of a toaster.”
