The Invisible Dog Art Center presents Nafas, an exhibition and a five-week festival to open on September 10, 2022 until October 15th.
“In Arabic, nafas is a breath or a spirit. But in the context of cooking, nafas is much more than that, it’s the energy some people possess that makes their meals not only good but exceptional” wrote cookbook author Reem Kassis.
The artists gathered by Lucien Zayan, Director of The Invisible Dog are all working with and around food. In their painting, sculpture, drawing, video, installation, photography, embroidery, writing, cuisine and performance, they bring this indefinable breath that makes their art exceptional.
Nafas is an exhibition that will invite each visitor to view exceptional artworks, created by exceptional artists, with an exceptional taste. The table becomes a gallery, the meals pieces of art, the dinner an exhibition, where guests bring their breath, their spirit, their own nafas.
