Artist research: Alaena Turner

'Dinner with picasso' is a project I was recommended to look at and from what I could find about the project it's an interesting concept. Looking at Picasso's still life work and the 'futurist cookbook', along with Dr. Seuss literature as her inspiration, this collaborative work seeks to bring artists and students together in a creative manner. As I'm researching I keep finding these interesting pieces of work that I would maybe like to explore at some stage, where food is treated like a performance and is used to bring people together and engage in conversation, just as I have done with the people I'm close with in my own work so far.
