Natalia Janula & Joanna Wierzbicka at Generation and Display Gallery, London June 28 — July 09, 2023
I might have bitten off more than I can chew comes from an ongoing dialogue between artists Natalia Janula and Joanna Wierzbicka. Both of their work investigates bodily fragility and the ambiguous, often obscure connection between domesticity and technology, futurism, and decay.
The Generation & Display show is open invite for a unique ‘dining’ experience featuring numerous culinary specialties. Regional aspic (a humorous take on East European vegetable and meat encased in jelly) , plexiglass sculptures, latex assemblages, kinetic sculptures, edible units, kebab-like creatures, a cake with a tongue, kinetic fingers, moulding squishy forms.
Janula and Wierzbicka are interested in the edible matter and its ability to shape memories, rituals, communities which then become mutually transformative relationships between food and consumer. With a pinch of salt, they also explore food as poetic, metaphorical, discursive, nutritional, and sculptural material.
