The guided tours of the exhibition On the Table. Semiotics of Food look to cast light on the cultural dimension of food while putting forward a critical reading of capitalist cycles to expose the tensions that revolve around their production, distribution and consumption. This narrative thread is told through an array of materials such as photographs, books, poems, postcards, cookbooks, sculptures…

The tours sketched out by Magnetised Needle develop within the framework of Almost Books, a mediation programme from the Library and Documentation Centre which sets forth an approach to their spaces, collections and services, extending beyond both as platforms for research on contemporary art.
