Spike Art Magazine #83 – Food
Issue 83 – Spring 2025
You can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. Or, it seems, without a few thousand followers and a designer stove. Food is everywhere these days, from jello-sculpting reels and fermentation pop-ups to bike deliveries of so many global cuisines. Our culture’s new A-listers are chefs, their restaurants no longer just stages for social performance, but works of total theater.
How is this buffet of new ideas, techniques, and above all delicious images changing the flavor of art, which, going back to the cave paintings, has dealt with foods less digestible to our feeds – the slimy, the rotten, even the cannibal? In an era of shared plates when the camera eats first, can foodification even help art find its own umami?
Our spring menu is seasonal, promise – there’s just one nature morte.
Featuring Healthy Boy Band, Aleksander Baron, Milena Büsch, Peter Fischli & David Weiss, Spiral Theory Test Kitchen, Amber Husain, Whitney Mallett, Diane Severin Nguyen, Andrea Petrini, Steven Phillips-Horst, Torbjørn Rødland, Dieter Roth, Mika Rottenberg, Julian Schnabel, Michael Smith, Philippa Snow, Daniel Spoerri, Tea Hačić-Vlahović, Wendy’s Wok World, Lynn Zelevansky & so many more!
About
Founded by the artist Rita Vitorelli in 2004, Spike is a contemporary art magazine aimed at sustaining a vigorous, independent, and meaningful art criticism. At the heart of each issue are feature essays by leading critics and curators on artists making work that plays a significant role in current debates. Situated between art theory and practice and ranging far beyond its editorial base in Vienna and Berlin, Spike is both rigorously academic and stylishly essayistic. Spike’s renowned pool of contributing writers, artists, collectors and gallerists observe and reflect on contemporary art and analyse international developments in contemporary culture, offering its readers both intimacy and immediacy through an unusually open editorial approach that is not afraid of controversy and provocation.
