Food as a Source of Meanings in Conceptual Art
Guhová, Vendula ; POSPISZYL, Tomáš (advisor) ; Uhnák, Tomáš (referee)
“Food as a Source of Meanings in Conceptual Art: Artistic Attitudes of Alison Knowles and Rirkrit Tiravanija” is a case study that examines the spectre of meanings mediated by food in the 20th century art and context-dependent changes of those. The thesis describes and compares the meanings of cooking and eating in Alison Knowles's pieces Propostion: Make a Salad and The Identical Lunch and Rirkrit Tiravanija's pieces Untitled (Pad/Thai) and Untitled (Free/Still), with regard to their contemporary and artistic context (Fluxus and relational aesthetics). It explores when do these activities - using quotidian acts - become an art piece and what mythology do these two artists build around themselves. One of the important aspects examined is a motive of connectivity.
