Whether pizza is served as high-end cuisine or a poor man's food,
this global product transcends the boundaries of culture and social
class. The circular piece of dough has long become an established
superfood. It is so much more than just something we eat. Aside
from culinary considerations, the preparation, consumption and
ubiquity of pizza involves at least as many social aspects. These
must be taken into account in order to understand the entirety of
this phenomenon. For instance, in sociology the "pizza effect"
refers to reciprocal processes of reception and exchange and thus
to the constant transformation of cultures. Only recently did the
UNESCO in Paris allow Italy to formally register the preparation of
pizza as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity. That's
iconic! The collection "Pizza is God" accompanies the eponymous
international group exhibition. Situating a cultural phenomenon in
the world of contemporary art, the exhibition will be staged by
NRW-Forum Dusseldorf in 2018. This feast for the eyes, which
combines painting, photography, net art, as well as video and
performance, is complemented in the book by texts and essays
written by renowned experts from the fields of food history,
culture and science. Text in English and German.
