Fabulous Links

Two smashing links for you to enjoy, today.

First up, the Mutato Collection. Ok so one of the tomatoes is in its straightforward natural form BUT I bow to the other pieces of amazing vegetable weirdness displayed.

Second, MoFa Museum of Food Anomalies - great name - An online exhibition of the Art of Regular Food Gone Horribly Wrong. A wider remit than mine, it includes not only vegetables but other foods such as, the “happily oblivious” ice cream shown below. However, in a similar vein, visitors and regular readers are invited to submit their own anomalous foods.

What I find particularly interesting is that both these sites appear to be run as conceptual art projects by artists. Though I run this site as an escape… a hobby, in the real world I do, also, happen to be an artist. Is it something to do with our temperament, I wonder?
