About Spike:

Spike is a contemporary art magazine, digital platform, and event space with offices in Berlin and Vienna. Published quarterly by the artist Rita Vitorelli, Spike is one of the last remaining independent art magazines.

In this issue:

In an era when the camera eats first, can foodification help art find its own umami? 

You can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. Or, it seems, without a few thousand followers and a designer stove. Food is everywhere these days, from jello-sculpting reels and fermentation popups to bike deliveries of so many global cuisines. Our culture’s new A-listers are chefs, their restaurants no longer just stages for social performance, but works of total theater.

How is this buffet of new ideas, techniques, and above all delicious images changing the flavor of art, which, going back to the cave paintings, has dealt with foods less digestible to our feeds – the slimy, the rotten, even the cannibal? In an era of shared plates when the camera eats first, can foodification even help art find its own umami?

Our spring menu is seasonal, promise – there’s just one nature morte.

Featuring Healthy Boy Band, Aleksander Baron, Milena Büsch, Peter Fischli & David Weiss, Spiral Theory Test Kitchen, Amber Husain, Whitney Mallett, Diane Severin Nguyen, Andrea Petrini, Steven Phillips-Horst, Torbjørn Rødland, Dieter Roth, Mika Rottenberg, Julian Schnabel, Michael Smith, Philippa Snow, Daniel Spoerri, Tea Hačić-Vlahović, Wendy’s Wok World, Lynn Zelevansky & so many more!
