The Edible Print Project

***

Taking an established art form and turning it on its head, the Edible Print Project bypasses the conventional canon in place of transience and temporality. Working with 8 contemporary artists to produce a limited run of 25 edible prints, we have created a collection inspired by the themes of feasting and decay, the ethereal and the bodily.

The Edible Print Project exists in two halves; in the first part, the edible prints will be on sale at the Herrick Gallery green pick-up truck at the Art Car Boot Fair, June 9th. As we'll be selling the prints at an affordable price, the intention is to allow collectors to start their relationship with these artists in a way that is novel and exciting - and because the edible paper is perishable (either because someone eats it or it fades and disintegrates after 18 months) there's a kind of transience and temporality to it, which asks us to question the mentality and meaning behind the possession of an image.

In the second part of the project, the print series will be exhibited at The House Gallery as part of The Camberwell Arts Festival. In this unique solo show, the works are showcased as modern-day curios, placing them in a specific time and place and referencing the fact that in the years to come they will no longer exist: it’s art that leaves no trace, forever contemporary until it is no more.
