Royal/T—Culver City’s playful 10,000-square-foot Japanese pop art-inspired space and “cosplay” maid café—will present unique ‘food for thought,’ with The Art of Cooking, a new food-and art-themed exhibit. The show is curated by Hanne Mugaas. Her passion for The Art of Cooking stems from her personal background—coming from a family of restaurateurs and gourmet chefs—and as Mugaas elaborates, “The Art of Cooking is a show that everybody can relate to since food is a central theme and source of everyday pleasure.” The exhibit is set to explore all types of food—no matter if it is a gourmet meal, a donut, or a slice of toast. Food-inspired abstract paintings, digital prints, and fashion created with a touch of artistic wit will be on display by renowned artists who obsess, explore, and celebrate food in their work, including Kenny Scharf, Olaf Breuning, B.Wurtz, Pierre Bismuth, and Wayne Thiebaud.
