Cut Your Teeth: Wolvesmouth at SMMoA

Posted by Fabio 16 October 2013

Cut Your Teeth: Wolvesmouth at SMMoA is a two-week residency with Craig Thornton, creator of underground dining experience Wolvesmouth. At the tail end of the fall equinox, Thornton and artist Matthew Bone host exquisitely-calibrated culinary encounters in the Museum, a series of meals that explore the collision of food and art.

Cut Your Teeth is the ultimate Wolvesmouth experience, an evening entirely created by Thornton and Bone. For each meal at SMMoA, guests will come together to dine in a darkly wooded den, a feast for the eyes and stomach alike. Inspired by the relationship between predator and prey, Thornton and Bone have transformed the Museum’s Main Gallery into an overgrown installation of organic, vegetal, and skeletal forms. Their work explores the harvest, reproduction, and the cycle of life and death, complete with canine teeth, fertile earth and flora, and taxidermied animals. The installation, combined with Thornton’s mythological culinary skills, will emphasize nature’s capacity to evoke the sublime, to give life and also take it away.
