The idea of molding parts of the body to create the dinner service, then the orgia kind of dinner where white shirts became voluntarily dirty! Chapeau, j'adore. I litterally LOVE this idea, all.

And by the way nobody eat at the Tantalus dinner except the Goddess Demeter! (that is not invited at the RCA performance!) ;-) I found quite messy and contrasting

Dear Dezeen you sponsor the Royal College or what? perhaps the polemical things get popular, isn'it? well with less elegance, less contents, less substance and LESS AESTHETIC it remind me "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover" a Peter Greenaway movie (sorry Peter). By the way I still consider the Royal college a great school!!!! I thought it was a PIZZA!

The object is actively altered by participants in the ritual .This needs to be used or to be seen in use to be appreciated, because any one of its static states do not and cannot tell the whole story. A play/drama performance could be written, centered about this object. Good job, I'm intrigued!

Its great that inspiration can be drawn from anywhere in this particular case the inspiration being greek mythology. I've posted this while on work experience at an architects and graphic designers. These two weeks have really fueled my pre-existing passion for design and art. Good Job! I love this a great concept beautifully portrayed.

So far, nothing special on the erotic' art front.. It looks like a simple curiousity of a group art students ,perhaps ,trying to manifest something new that (maybe) never has been done before..But what I do remember, is a collection of tv-programs/ films and photo's of people, eating foods of real naked body's on party's .. For example: In, and far before the 1960's this practical joke ,or ritual is performed on Greek or Roman orgies, (tv)parties & public 'art-happenings' and movies ..The male art-students of the R.C.A display themselves having a great time with their dirty white shirts after feeding each other with portions of mostly red coloured food, ( resambling human blood ) It is quite obvious to see,that it had to be spoiled deliberedly to create some dramatic ''food-fun- party- effect'.. Without all these effects,including the 2 spontane smiling (''mold'? )girls in the back,the female-mold-shaped tablewareproject-photo's would be a bit boring to look at, I suppose..The only message in this work that I see is ,that you can have some 'erotic fun with these kinds of human shaped tableware.. These luxurous porcilain objects repesent what some people may desire to have as unusual table-'gadgeds'- to impress their friends, or to use this kind of usable 'body-art' as part of an 'individual lifestyle'...
