Martinka Bobrikova & Oscar De Carmen / Installation

The painting is predominantly large-scale, freely scribbled, calligraphic, and graffiti-like in scale of black colour on the gallery walls of the exhibition space in Turiec Gallery, Martin. By using the gallery architecture as a support, the project comes to light as a large diagram visualizing both the consequences of and solutions to the global crisis in the political economy of food. The sketch analyzes the environmental consequences surrounding food derived from the current capital circuit systems. Drawings present themselves as a political commentary in response to current events. Their painted work on the architecture of the gallery, more specifically on the walls of exhibition space, shifts toward "romantic symbolism", and their titles can be interpreted visually through shapes, forms, and words. We quote, through the visually represented critical roots, an anti-aesthetic counter-mapping the theory behind Kitchen Dialogues project, a project based in the social relationships surrounding gastronomy. These are examples of the drawings consisting of inscriptions of the words and sentences as “un-sustainability" or “repercussion of natural resources".
