Overview

Schmatz\shmats: smacking ones lips in anticipation of good food; eating noisily; and, big sloppy air kisses. An innovative art book that includes recipes, a cookbook that includes art, Schmatz! speaks to the creative practices of publishing and cookery as experienced at Steidlville. Renowned artists from around the world travel to little Gottingen, Germany to collaborate with celebrated publisher and printer, Gerhard Steidl, creating outstanding books of exceptional quality. Personally involved in every stage of their books creation, artists make the rounds from image processing, color proofing, to design, paper choice, and finally to press. While there is a great amount of satisfaction in the process, it is rigorous and highly demanding. The one hour when guests are allowed to slow down is lunchtime at Steidl's table, enjoying the simple yet spectacularly delicious, lovingly prepared and served meals by chef Rudiger Schellong. The book is an introduction to the experience of Steidlville: artists reminiscences; snippets of mealtime conversations; and, menus and recipes that speak not only to the ingredients but also evoke a mood cooking plans that guide the reader to becoming more intuitive, an artist in the kitchen. Images include art from books created at Steidl, photos of the guests and Rudiger's cuisine.
