MINO PEREZ, Martina. From the avant-garde to latin american art: food as a transformative element. Índex [online]. 2020, n.9, pp.60-66. ISSN 2477-9199.  https://doi.org/10.26807/cav.v0i09.330.

Beyond Picasso's still lifes, where fruits are represented resting on a basket, food as a metaphorical tool in contemporary art has an undeniable transformative quality. Eating, cooking and tasting are languages ​​that express political, social, intimate and historical values. This essay analyzes how, from the European artistic avant-garde to Latin American Contemporary Art, food has been a subversive tool to break the normative language of cultural production. From movements such as Dadaism, Surrealism, Futurism and Anthropophagy, to the new avant-gardes of Fluxus and EatArt, edible narratives have been used as transformative tools of thought. Likewise, contemporary Latin American artists serve banquets, prepare ice cream, and offer candies to investigate the spaces of tension between the intimate and the political, the private and the public, and art and life.
