Cooking Sections investigates the systems that shape the world through food, tracing the spatial, ecological, and political legacies of extractivism. Using site-responsive installations, performances, and video, their practice confronts the overlapping boundaries of art, architecture, ecology, and geopolitics.[1]
Founded in London in 2013 by Daniel Fernández Pascual and Alon Schwabe, Cooking Sections uses food as both a lens and a tool to trace the metabolic relations behind industrialised food systems. Since 2015, they have run CLIMAVORE, a long-term, site-responsive project, exploring how to eat as humans change climates and how to metabolise climate breakdown.[2][3]
Alon and Daniel are Readers in Architecture and Spatial Practice at the Royal College of Art, London, and Fellows at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research.[4][5]
CLIMAVORE[6] uses cultural platforms to amplify civic resistance: removing farmed salmon from the menus of over 20 major museums; regranting art funds to farmers trailing agrochemical-free methods in Lake Erie; launching a nationwide baking challenge for breads against soil depletion in Finland; turning museums' living collections into protocols for peasant seed exchange in Southern Italy; or creating a water buffalo festival to protect Istanbul’s urban wetlands from extinction.[7][8][9][10][11]
Exhibitions
[edit]Their work has been exhibited internationally, including at Tate Britain, Serpentine Galleries, SALT, Centro Botín, Bonniers Konsthall, Carnegie Museum of Art, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Museo delle Civiltà, among others. They have created site-specific performances and installations for the Taipei Biennial, 58th Venice Biennale, Istanbul Biennial, Performa17, Manifesta12, Los Angeles Public Art Triennial, Sharjah Architecture Triennial, Folkestone Triennial, and New Orleans Triennial among others. Residencies include the Headlands Center for the Arts, Prospect Cottage, Fogo Island Arts and Delfina Foundation.[12]

[edit]Cooking Sections was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2021, received the Special Prize at the 2019 Future Generation Art Prize and were nominated for the Visible Award for socially-engaged practices. Daniel was awarded the 2020 Harvard GSD Wheelwright Prize for Being Shellfish.[13][14][15][16]

Wikipedia articles must be written neutrally in a formal, impersonal, and dispassionate way. They should not read like a blog post, advertisement, or fan page. Rewrite the draft to remove:
Instead, only summarize in your own words a range of independent, reliable, published sources that discuss the subject.
If you have a conflict of interest (e.g. you are the subject, an employee, or a relative) or are being paid to edit, you must disclose this to comply with Wikipedia's Terms of Use.
