An individual farm-to-table meal featuring seasonal foods prepared by Swedish artist and architect Frida Foberg, served at her installation “Never Alone”.

The meal takes place during the NAFAS festival, and other visitors are likely to be present at the time of the event.

The cuisine is influenced by Frida’s Scandinavian roots. She works closely with regional and local organic farms, and builds the menu based on what is harvested at the time of the event. Guests can expect the three courses to feature seasonal produce and products, where vegetables are the majority of the meal.

Fruit Scores // Marisa Tornello

Fruit Scores is a study on transience, delight, improvisation, decay, and nourishment. Living as a rapidly evolving composition and visual/performance art piece, Fruit Scores takes a closer look at the anatomy of fruit and musical interpretation of that anatomy. Defining characteristics of each fruit can be viewed not only as art and food, but also as rules and instructions, communicating textural + tonal expression depending on the specific features of each fruit.

An Evening of Reading Cooked by Adam Dalva

The senses are a crucial aspect of great literature - and nothing is more powerfully sense-evoking than food, which moves beyond taste and into the realms of smell, texture, sight, and sound. Food is especially potent in writing because it is also the crucial sensory aspect of memory. Garth Greenwell, Raven Leilani, Sanaë Lemoine and Brandon Taylor, are sensualists in the best sense of the word, and they use food brilliantly in their writing. Adam Dalva brings them to the communal table.

This event is presented in partnership with Books Are Magic is part of NAFAS, a five-week festival including a group exhibition of 35 visual artists and a series of performances and events to open on September 10, 2022, for the launch of our 14th season and running until October 15, 2022.

Neurodivergent Pickling by Niyoosha Ahmadikhoo & Julie Dind

  • The Invisible Dog Art Center (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Neurodivergent Pickling is an ephemeral installation, a ritual, and an endurance performance. Over the span of several hours, two neurodivergent performers obsessively wash, cut, and line up vegetables until the floor is filled with them, before turning them into pickles. The piece proposes to invite neurodivergent gestures into the realm of food. The process of making Persian pickles [Shoori شوری] turns into a framed fractal motion, offering a reflection on culture and rituals.

This performance, presented in partnership with MOFAD, is part of NAFAS, a five-week festival including an exhibition of 36 visual artists and a series of performances and events celebrating the union of food and art.

A restaurant is like a theater, it has a backstage, actors, dancers, staging, even its own music. A great restaurant is a space that surpasses the everyday: governed by its own rhythms and codes, populated by devotees, dominated by the figure and the voice of a father who, having once dreamed of a career on the stage, instead built his life around this Tower, the restaurant Tour D'argent in Paris.

This performance is part of NAFAS, a five-week festival including an exhibition of 36 visual artists and a series of performances and events celebrating the union of food and art.

An Essay About the Exhibition "Nafas" by Adam Dalva

  • The Invisible Dog Art Center (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

[…] Great art should involve food, I feel, because the gustatory moments of our lives are aligned with both desire and the thwarting of desire. Food is also the crucial sensory aspect of memory. Think of the chocolate you ate right before you decided to leave your lover; the childhood sandwich that your cruel babysitter prepared; the last meal you ever ate with a dead loved one. The memory is locked in by what we consumed during the memory. In the case of the lead of Proust’s In Search of Lost Time, of course, a humble madeleine thrusts the lead back into a 3000-page reverie. It’s not that the madeleine itself is particularly remarkable—it’s what it’s associated with, redolent of childhood walks, a beloved grandmother, and the most shameful of secrets. […]

This essay is about NAFAS, a new exhibition about Food from September 10 to October 15, 2022

The Invisible Dog Art Center (Brooklyn NY) is thrilled to present Nafas, an exhibition gathering 36 visual artists who are working with and around the theme of food. Nafas is also a five-week festival of performances and events.

In Arabic, Nafas is a breath or a spirit. But in the context of cooking, nafas is much more than that, “It’s the energy some people possess that makes their meals not only good but exceptional”

In their painting, sculpture, drawing, video, installation, photography, embroidery, writing, cuisine and performance, the artists gathered by Lucien Zayan, director of The Invisible Dog, bring this indefinable breath that makes their art exceptional.
