The exhibition is produced in collaboration with Kinfolk Japan, the international trendsetting lifestyle magazine.

Through six photographs selected from Kinfolk’s latest issue examining “food”, the exhibition explores the concept of “#QOL - Quality of Life”. The photographs embody the emerging trend of successful harmony of the three elements, “food / fashion / art”. The limited edition prints and back issues of Kinfolk magazine will be available for purchase at the gallery.

Founded in Portland, USA, Kinfolk has recently moved its headquarters to Copenhagen. We welcome you to come and experience the vision and philosophy of Kinfolk at artless appointment gallery.

Delving deeply into home, work, style and culture, Kinfolk promotes quality of life and connects a global community of creative professionals from London to Tokyo. Since 2011, Kinfolk has become a leading lifestyle authority with a dynamic mix of print and online media, including a quarterly magazine sold in over 100 countries in four languages, daily posts on Kinfolk.com, bestselling books, plus international events and a gallery space in the heart of Copenhagen.

The fall issue of Kinfolk explores one of life’s simplest pleasures: sharing a meal. The act of eating together—whether at a well-appointed table or in the simple breaking of bread—is an essential element of a well-lived life. As MFK Fisher famously wrote, sharing a meal can be more intimate than sharing a bed.
In this issue, we examine the role of food in forming and sustaining relationships, its place in art and political history, and its significance to the arbiters contemporary culture. We visit the chef known as the “Queen” of Southern cuisine and thumb the pages of Dali’s surrealist cookbook.
