A la c’Arte
The art of food – Food in art

18 September 2010 to 2 January 2011

A steaming dish of venison, roasted hare and dove. Further along, turnips, shining rolmops and juicy cherries. Well dressed persons gather around a table, knowing that at any moment they may begin. Images from a cooking programme? No, an impression of the art in the new exhibition at the Noordbrabants Museum. From September until January it’s all about food. It’s enough to make your mouth water!

Warning: a visit to A la c’Arte can lead to uncontrollable appetite and exciting experiments in the kitchen!

The art of food

A la c’Arte is a culinary exploration for all. Contemporary and playful and divided into three themes. The theme ‘ingredients’ is enriched by four Michelin Star chefs from Brabant; Cas Spijkers, Gerrit Greveling (Chalet Royal, ’s-Hertogenbosch), Joost Verhoeven (Cordial, Oss) and John Kocken (De Heer Kocken, Vught). In word and image they present how they have created, inspired by the works of art, a fabulous four course menu. The paintings in the theme ‘meals’ are reviewed by culinary critic Jeroen Thijssen and for ‘Symbolism’ the hidden meanings of food in art are revealed to the visitor by the art historians of the museum.

Activities

During the exhibition all sorts of special activities take place. For children from 4 to 12 years of age there are three taste routes in the exhibition: sweet, sour and salt. For more information on this and other activities see our website www.noordbrabantsmuseum.nl
