I think the funniest aspect is the grown adults gawking and taking pictures! Getting all excited about the destruction of a kitchen. But hey, if it floats your boat. I was curious enough to watch a bit, so I admit the concept is a bit interesting, but not for long. The first big mess (and the initial excitement of the audience) made me laugh, then the noise and chaos was disturbing, and then I simply got bored, all in the space of two minutes.

Lots of people have brilliant ideas as children, and I’m so glad that some adults make those ideas real to share with us all. Ain’t nothing like the real thing. People who go all the way with their ideas and try them out in the real world are the kinds of people I love the most.

How sad and boring life would be without all the artists people love to hate. I am also glad they get paid – it gives me hope for humanity. A society that doesn’t value it’s artists is no place for me.

People’s lack of understanding of art makes me sad.

I thought this was great, apart from when it stops… Continuous rolling seems to me to be a major part in this concept realising it’s true purpose. Plus, if it’s stopping for technical glitches, then it’s not reflecting well on the artist.

I can’t see why people are complaining about this as a piece though. It’s a very aesthetically pleasing modern art concept. It involves random destruction constantly creating a scewed image in a 3D frame, sometimes it’s just choas and sometimes paterns emerge. It’s also a well designed structure.

It vaguely reminds you off a kitchen in a student house, doesn\’t it? Dutch students\’ house at least look like that .. male students\’ house .

Hm .. a Dutch person came up with this idea apparently … hm … he must have remembered the story I told him about our boat then .. whoelse would come up with such a thing. The food in art ?

Well, it is probably kinda fun watching it when the clean kitchen starts to rotate but after that?
They apparently took the title of this exhibition for this project. Unless there are deeper thoughts behind this.
Probably not. I wonder what people think seeing that mess of food and appliances and such twirl around … the smell .. Wont be the lucky winner for sure.

Art of food is more like it .. it could have been a symbol for some people\’s kitchen qualities …

Reminds me of our boat on a wild lake once …

My, I thought there was a glass/perspex plate in front but no … It will smell badly after a while … I wonder what the idea behind this is … maybe i should check on boing boing for this .. yes, I will … otherwise I don’t get it ..

Going to continue rotating until next February huh? Doubt it. It can’t even run for 11 minutes without stopping twice. Plus all the electrics within the kitchen failed too. Whilst I have no problems with ‘conceptual art’ this isn’t even very well executed for what it is.

Would have been waaaaaaay better if its rate of rotation randomly changed from that painfully slow speed to say 10rpm and back.

Where is it? I think it’s great although it’s a shame that it kept breaking in it’s first rotation. Maybe those that kept disapearing behind it were not fixing it but winding it up?

I’d like to see it in a month. Is anyone going to pop the escaping leeks back in or would that defeat the object?

I like how it broke down halfway through
