At a “Supper Club”, people who have generally never met before, get together in their host’s private rooms, where they are wined and dined with a self-prepared culinary menu. The idea of different people and cultures coming together through a shared interest is the inspiration for the group exhibition “Supper Club” that kick-starts the year 2017 at Galerie Kornfeld. We invited gallery artists, as well as exciting guest artists, to bring along one or two works as gifts for this exhibition, which unites a variety of artistic forms under one thematic framework.

At the centre of the exhibition is the work Last Supper by Georgian Biennale participant Tamara Kvesitadze, which will have its German premiere in Galerie Kornfeld’s rear exhibition room. The tradition of the “Last Supper”, as a key thematic field in Christian-influenced art history, serves as an important reference point for the selection of themes and motifs that resonate throughout the exhibition’s sculptures, photographs, paintings, works on paper, and installations.
The concept of the Supper Club allows the participating artists to engage more broadly with the themes of the banquet, faith, and passion as articulated in the narrative of the “Last Supper”.
