Week 7 - The Milk Factory
 Annaïck GUENA

 

The Milk Factory is a culinary creative lab of the French dairy collective, in Paris.

This gallery and laboratory wants to mix disciplines and arts. Design meets photography, culinary art or illustration. The multidisciplinary is the main idea of this project where art meet cook.

Milk, cheese, cream or butter are main subjects of this creative lab. Dairy products are the material of the artistic works exposed in the Parisian gallery. This one exposes butter or cheese sculptures, photos of milk projections, variation of designed cheeseboards or cow portraits. These materials propose a lot of creative and artistic possibilities. The Milk Factory shows this through the exhibition “Lactescences”. These artists propose a diversity of milk’s visions. This exhibition exposes a “multitude of laboratories where artistic, culinary experiments merge and collide”.

These artistic works may be disappointing and surprising, but are very original and creative. The Milk Factory propose a new way of artistic innovation. 

Beyond the creative research into dairy products, the Milk Factory realizes videos of exhibitions and creations, and magazines which explain the artistic way of this culinary works. The Milk Factory wants to show the milk cultures through meetings at the Quai Branly for example.

This creative lab wants to promote the diversity of the art and the diversity of cultures. (214)
