Ferran Adria - Notes On Creativity

This publication accompanies the first major museum exhibition in the world to focus on the visualization and drawing practices of master chef Ferran Adria. His complex body of work positions the drawing medium as both a philosophical tool--used to organize and convey knowledge, meaning and signification--as well as a physical object--used to synthesize over twenty years of innovation within the kitchen. Emphasizing the role of drawing in Adria's quest to understand creativity, the book features an interview between Ferran Adria and Brett Littman, and also includes a reprint of the artist Richard Hamilton's essay about the relationship of food to contemporary art and Adria's participation in Documenta 12 that first appeared in Food for Thought: Thought for Food (2009).
