the heart of the Palais de Tokyo in 2012 to the
seven monumental stage curtains at this
year’s Art Basel Hong Kong, German artist
Ulla von Brandenburg’s work is always
theatrical. ‘Sweet Feast’, a new project for
London’s Whitechapel Gallery, was inspired
by a 1973 exhibition of European sweets
that was abruptly halted when a group of
children devoured the exhibits. Mobilising 100
primary school pupils, von Brandenburg
has created a video re-enactment of the
event as a discussion of Britain’s changing
relationship with the EU. Her contribution to
our artist’s recipe series is naturally a sweet
treat – orangettes, made from whole discs of
orange rather than just the peel. Dig in.
‘Sweet Feast’ is at Whitechapel Gallery from
21 September, whitechapelgallery.org. For von
Brandenburg’s recipe, visit Wallpaper.com ∏434 ∑
