"If you're a baker, making bread, you're a baker. If you make the best bread in the world, you're not an artist, but if you bake the bread in the gallery, you're an artist. So the context makes the difference."
—Marina Abramovic
Visual artist Afa Annfa and food stylist Gloria Chung will present their first duo solo exhibition at JPS Gallery Hong Kong. Inspired by an iconic quote from conceptual and performance artist Marina Abramovic, this unique showcase explores the complex relationship between authentic and artificial food, examining their artistic significance and symbolic meanings. The exhibition, titled A&G Boulangerie, focuses specifically on bread and butter—staple foods that hold profound cultural significance in our lives.
The exhibition space will be divided into two distinct zones: a meaningful kitchen island in the main room and an altar area that adds a sacred dimension to the everyday act of breaking bread. This dual arrangement fosters an engaging dialogue between the mundane and the divine.
Opening Reception: Tuesday, January 21, 2025, 5 - 8 pm
Gallery address: G/F, 88 - 90 Staunton Street, Central
