The Artists Dining Room

The Artist Dining Room was a supper club at Guest Projects where creative minds were encouraged to engage with the ideas of a well-known artist through food. For each dinner, a Guest Chef was invited to create a tailor-made menu exploring the fundamental, social and intellectual content of the artist’s work, which was reflected through the courses of the meal.

A Guest Host was also invited to lead the evening through discussion and performance surrounding the themes of the dinner. The meals were inspired by renowned artists and art movements such as William Burroughs, Louise Bourgeois, David Lynch, Frida Kahlo, Marcel Duchamp, Kurt Schwitters, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Salvador Dalí, Andy Warhol, Richard Hamilton, Sophie Calle, Kara Walker, Christo and Jeanne-Claude and Cindy Sherman, Francesca Woodman and Nan Goldin for International Women's Day March 2017, Derek Jarman, Leonora Carrington, and the Futurist Supper.

Proceeds from tickets sales went towards running the Guest Projects residency programme.
