• In 1961, his food paintings
(images of cakes, ice cream,
pies, candy and gumballs), were
a big hit. He painted these
subjects with thick paint and
bold colors. Art critics called
him a Pop Artist because he
painted popular consumer
goods. However, Theibaud did
not consider himself a Pop
Artist. He said he created these
images out of nostalgia; they
reminded him of his boyhood

Jennifer Rubell creates participatory artwork that is
a hybrid of performance art, installation, and
happenings. The pieces are often staggering in
scale and sensually arresting, frequently employing
food and drink as media: one ton of ribs with honey
dripping on them from the ceiling; 2,000 hard-
boiled eggs with a pile of latex gloves nearby to
pick them up; 1,521 doughnuts hanging on a free-
standing wall; a room-sized cell padded with 1,800
cones of pink cotton candy.
44. “Creation” spanned four floors of food installations
that viewers literally put on their plates to eat a meal.
On the fourth floor was the drinking/appetizer
component with 3,600 glasses of varying sizes and
shapes, one ton of ice cubes, 30 ice scoops, and a
heaping pile of roasted peanuts. The elevator in the
DIA Center had a pedestal of wine, liquor, and
mixers. On the third floor was a honey trap mounted
to the ceiling steadily dripped honey on barbecued
ribs. On the second floor was the dessert. There
were three felled apple trees, bags of powdered
sugar filled with cookies.

freestanding room constructed of
basic building materials, with a

49. The Red Party’s main dinner is served inside a
Russian-themed constructivist set, and Padded
Cell acts as an escape from that, an all-American
funhouse that is at the same time confining,
threatening, claustrophobic. It is an object that
addresses the dark side of pleasure, the price of
pleasure, the possibility that pleasure is its own
punishment. Approximately 1,800 cones of cotton
candy are used in its construction.

59. History
H I S T O R Y
• Tea leaves came from China in the fourth
century
• The first mention of a formal tea ceremony
was mentioned in eight century and at the
same time a Chinese Buddhist monk wrote
the “Cha Ching” teaching the proper way of
preparing tea
• During the Nara Period, tea was drunk by
monks and noblemen as medicine.
• From the Nara Period to the Heian Period,
tea was seen as a very rare and important
commodity.
60. H I S T O R Y
• In 1187, Myoan Eisai went to China to study religion and
philosophy. When he came back he was the founder of
Zen Buddhism and he was said to be the first to use tea
for religious purposes.
• He established the grinding of tea leaves before mixing it
with hot water and also used the method of emperor Hui
Tsung with using a bamboo whisk to mix the tea leaves
powder and water.
61. • Tea started to spread all over Japan.
The rapid spread can be attributed to
the Samurai class who really enjoyed
the Tea Ceremony
• In 1333 the Kamakara shogunate fell
and a new class of people (the
Gekokujou) who enjoyed extravagant
lifestyle invited friends and family to
Tea parties called Toucha
H I S T O R Y
62. When people of lower classes started to gain interest in the Tea Ceremony
enjoyed by the Samurai classes, they started having tea ceremonies in
lesser extravagant rooms which are now called Kakoi
63. Murata Shukou became one of
the best known designers of
these small rooms and he
became the Father of Tea
Ceremony because the etiquette
and the spirit of the tea ceremony
came from him. Another important
part of the ceremony that he
began was that he served the tea
himself to his guests because he
believed that this creates a more
intimate and personal relationship
with his guests in tandem with
being in a small room.

82. "To me, CHOCOLAT is a very funny fable
about temptation and the importance of not
denying oneself the good things in life," says
Hallström. "It's about the constant conflict
in life between tradition and change. And
at its very center it is about intolerance and
the consequences of not letting other people
live out their own lives and beliefs."

small French village that shakes up the rigid morality of the community.
