dedicated to the theme of food and its declinations
2nd Edition

MIA Fair is pleased to announce the second edition of the IRINOX SAVE THE FOOD Award curated by Claudio Composti, curator, art director of Ragusa Foto Festival and founder and art director of mc2gallery.

The award is addressed to artists’ projects with no age or nationality limits, who have a relationship with the theme of food in all its different forms.

The Award is supported by Irinox S.p.A. a leader in the production of high-quality rapid blast chillers and conservation systems for professional and domestic sectors and electric switchboards in inox steel.

CONCEPT
The Award aims to promote artists that, through the use of image in all of its forms have dealt with the theme of food. Food has always been present in human heritage, not only as a necessity, but also as a carrier of strong symbolisms and important socio-anthropological implications.

Co-living, in all its forms, is the basis of human relationships. From cinema to theatre to literature, the theme of food has always interested artists who have told its story from different points of view, interpreting its meanings which today, more than ever, become even stronger as a social and economic issue

With its second edition, IRINOX SAVE THE FOOD award intends to promote the mission and the values of the company from Treviso, leader in the sector of rapid blast chillers.

IRINOX has always been alert to problems of environmental sustainability, with the aim of spreading as much as possible the culture of cold conservation, in order to completely eliminate food waste, time wasting, energy wasting and to maintain the properties of food.
