Grace Gloria Denis’s work for the exhibition CUM PANIS aims to create a parallel between her research into the world of agriculture, the evolution of bread production and an interactive installation, where immersion is achieved through sound.

This sound work makes his entire installation more user-friendly and invites the discovery of his research in a more accessible way.

Bread on earth is an archive and research project founded by the artist Lexie Smith. It explores the potential of bread - the ultimate food, synonymous with wealth, poverty, the divine and the banal - as a social, political, economic and ecological barometer.

Artist Lexie Smith is calling for contributions to a collaborative database of different types of bread, which will then be accessible to all: researchers, bakers and anyone interested in exploring and preserving global foodways. To add breads to this database, go to the project website: “Bread web”.

Lexie Smith’s installation Making you into what you’re made of was featured in the group exhibition Cum panis : le pain et ses écologies at 19, Crac in Montbéliard from 10th February to 5th May 2024.
