‘diptych in love’

Throughout the month of June 2020, the Museum of Edible Earth has enjoyed a residency within the art space Diptych, in Amsterdam, for the project ‘Diptych in love’. Diptych is a project by the visual artist Ola Lanko who expanded her artistic practice into the field of gastronomy exploring unconventional tools to trigger imagination. It is an eight-seat Omakase room in Amsterdam.

The event occurring at the end of our residency period, ‘Diptych in love’, was a collaborative platform driven by raw passions manifesting in a gastronomic experience and artistic expressions. For six month different artists and projects – including the Museum of Edible Earth – have enjoyed a month-long residency: Afra Eisma, Comfort Ball Collective, Alexandra Hunts, Ernests Vilsons and Confusion of Tongues (Marthe Prins & Benedikt Weishaupt). As a result of this collaboration an autonomous body of work that includes a design of an 11-course dinner as a special event has taken place.

The event happened on the 2nd of July at Diptych. The 11-course dinner was partly involving edible soils from the Museum’s collection. In the showroom of the space was exhibited our modular installation displaying the collection. The audience was invited to share their earth experiences on this website. To remain a safe space, the dinner was limited to a small number of persons who booked it, and the access to the exhibition room limited to 2 persons at a time.

Diptych is a transdisciplinary playground by the visual artist Ola Lanko who expanded her artistic practice into the field of gastronomy exploring unconventional tools questing for meaning. It is an eight-seat Omakase room in Amsterdam. At Diptych the fundamental principle is trust. Omakase stands for 'I leave it up to you'. Guests were asked to give in and for trust and in return a unique experience was created for them in front of their eyes.
