Cathy Byrd meets creatives at the intersection of contemporary art and food in Barcelona. Iranian-born Mariam Shambayati talks about her multi-media art project Moulinex-Me and the conceptual dinner parties she stages in the Food Cultura Museum. This anti-museum’s founders Montse Guillén and Antoni Miralda have mixed art and food around the world for decades. They introduce their most recent collaboration, Off Menu—a series of fantastical events that offered a creative alternative to Alimentaria, Barcelona’s annual culinary festival.
