Still Feast
November 4th, 2023
No Man's Art Gallery & de bar
To celebrate the 2023 Museumnacht in Amsterdam, bis bis designed a 5-course dinner inspired by still life paintings from old and modern art masters. Our chef duo guided our guests through unexpected vegetarian reinterpretations of the elements in each canvas, questioning the perspective of what a “still life” is nowadays. A true transtemporal journey across art, flavors and unexpected transformations!
