Discussing
an
aspect
of
the
European
avant-garde
that
has
often
been
neglected-its
relationship
to
the
embodied
experience
of
food,
its
sensation,
and
its
consumption-Cecilia
Novero
exposes
the
surprisingly
key
roles
that
food
plays
in
the
theoretical
foundations
and
material
aesthetics
of
a
broad
stratum
of
works
ranging
from
theItalian

the
magazineDada,
Walter
Benjamin's
writings
on
eating
and
cooking,
Daniel
Spoerri'sEat
Art,
and
the
French
New
Realists.
Starting from the premise that avant-garde art involves the questioning of bourgeois aesthetics, Novero demonstrates that avant-garde artists, writers, and performers have produced an oppositional aesthetics of indigestible art. Through the rhetoric of incorporation and consumption and the use of material ingredients in their work, she shows, avant-garde artists active in the 1920s and 1930s as well as the neo-avant-garde movements engaged critically with consumer culture, memory, and history.
Attention to food in avant-garde aesthetics, Novero asserts, reveals how these works are rooted in a complex temporality that associates memory and consumption with dynamics of change.
