The Sonic Sensorium - AVM Curiosities

  • Amber Bednall
Inspired by the emerging field of Crossmodalism The Sonic Sensorium explores the interaction of the senses, pairing music and sound, to taste and aroma, creating an all encompassing sensual experience.
The Sonic Sensorium is a concert and tasting menu that takes the work of three live musicians and couples them with a either a [bespoke] perfume, [creative] cocktail or [artful] appetiser, created by award-winning Food Historian and Artist, Tasha Marks in collaboration with art collective, Acrylicize. Join us in the hidden New York loft-style venue of Studio 7 Shoreditch, neighbouring the Acrylicize studios.
AVM Curiosities, has been exploring the relationship between art and food through a series of high-calibre events and edible interventions since 2011. Founded by award-winning food historian Tasha Marks, (Grey Goose Iconoclast of Taste 2013, Selfridges Bright Young Thing 2013 and Young British Foodie 2013 – Experiential Finalist) AVM Curiosities champions the use of food as an artistic medium, with projects ranging from museum-style exhibitions and sculptural installations to interactive lectures and limited-edition confectionery.
Vanity Fair calls AVM Curiosities ‘London at it’s crazy-best’, while London store Sick-Note describe Tasha’s work as ‘the love child of Leonardo Da Vinci, Willy Wonka and Ferran Adria.’Previous patrons have included the Royal Academy of Art, Victoria & Albert Museum, The National Trust and Selfridges - each of these projects eventuating in a unique and sensory art experience.
