Pizzeria da Canemorto
Solo exhibition, 2017
KAPOW, Gent (Belgium)
Pizzeria da Canemorto is the first installment of an ongoing series of gastronomic performative exhibitions by CANEMORTO. The trio transformed the exhibition space of KAPOW into a real pizzeria, reinventing all the characteristic elements of typical Italian take-away pizzerias.

CANEMORTO installed a professional pizza oven, built a counter, created a special menu of dog-shaped pizzas, designed the pizza boxes, painted a mural with the Gulf of Naples, exhibited a series of paintings inspired by the ones typically displayed in Italian pizzerias, recruited twerk dancers as waiters and cooked pizzas for all the visitors.

Pizzeria da Canamorto managed to become the best pizzeria in town before shutting down for fraudolent bankruptcy.
