You are also what you eat. I think food is very important in our life,

especially in my life

By initiating encounters between artists and chefs, Food For Art helps bring art and gastronomy together, two creative expressions that search for emotion and the taste of an era. This programme aims to connect us to what is good, true and beautiful to invent a responsible kind of epicureanism.

This year, 5 chefs from all over the world met Jeppe Hein at his studio in Berlin. This artistic and gastronomic dialogue was underpinned by Ruinart s cuvées and the ambition to transpose the Maison s vision into a culinary experience, which the artist has condensed into the Carte Blanche, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.

I tried to open up my universe to these chefs, bringing them into my way of experiencing life, art and food.

I showed them what it means for me to be in the moment, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, especially with

taste, smell, touch, hear and sight.

The public will be able to experience Food For Art at the international art fairs where Ruinart is a partner and where the RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW installation will be presented, either at the fair itself or in the chef s restaurant. This nomadic artistic adventure echoes the work perfectly. From Basel to Tokyo, from Paris to Miami, it will be presented in a different way: by using the colours and shapes on display, that evolve over the year, as well as the four elements and five senses, which each chef interprets in their own way.

Together, we tried to invite people to experience champagne, but also the chef s food and my art,

at a totally new level.
