"WHAT YOU SEE IS NEITHER FOOD NOR ART" HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL 28 FEBRUARY 2025

Daniel Spoerri, *Le Trésor despaures “Los Machos”,* 1985.

What You See Is Neither Food Nor Art is the new project by Galleria Gaburro, curated by Matteo Scabeni at their Via Cerva 25 exhibition space in Milan. The exhibit explores the imagery of Daniel Spoerri through a collection of 27 artworks that, from October 30, 2024, to February 28, 2025, challenge visitors’ perceptions by intertwining presence and absence, reality, hyperreality, and surrealism.

Following Spoerri’s aphorism, which serves as the title of the exhibition, the show seeks to build an intergenerational and intermedial dialogue, starting with the Romanian artist, who preserves and immortalizes scenes of daily life by referencing the ritualistic spectacle of meal consumption or any other action. Engaging with broader reflections on everyday life, ritual, alchemy, and food (“about food, with and without food, through food and the body”), four artists (Iain Andrews, Leda Bourgogne, Nebojsa Despotovic and Malte Zenses) consciously and distinctively interpret an aspect of Spoerri’s poetic.
