What are you having for lunch?

Despite the ridiculous amount of money you pay for the
salad you have for lunch, working in Nisantasi has it
benefits. Daily visits to Topshop & Beymen Blender,
coffee breaks at Caffé Nero and being able to see S
almost anytime of the day are to name a few. Yesterday 
instead of having lunch, I went to see the Maksut
Aşkar's "Art 4 Appetite" Exhibition at Gallery 44A
Founded in January 2009, the Gallery has been housing
Works of both Turkish and international artist, and 

supporting emerging artists as well.


Redefining the food/drink culture, Maksut Askar makes
one think -rather out of the box- about the concept of
eating and food. I might have skipped lunch in order to
be able to see Askar's exhibition; however, I got the
opportunity to paint my own dish -using actual food
puree- and taste the other visitors' as well. So, I
decided to make use of the sun finally shining and painted
"Sunny Monday Stew, with beet salad and mint sauce".

In case you want to have some food for thought as well,
the exhibition will be open until September 20.
