waiters wearing a single white glove were serving michael jackson funeral jelly at bistrotheque tonite - pyramid-shaped jelly with black cherry and champagne, set with edible 24-carat gold leaf peak
bompas + parr launch their funeral jelly service - a new line of specialist moulds revives and builds on a long forgotten element of the funeral ceremony - with traditional english jelly enjoying a renaissance across the uk, families are increasingly serving it at funerals - their work operates in the space between food and architecture - projects explore how the taste of food is influenced by synaesthesia, performance and setting

installed at manchester art gallery for manchester international festival (now thru 19 july), js bach/zaha hadid architects chamber music hall has been specially designed to house solo performances of the exquisite music of johann sebastian bach, a voluminous ribbon swirls within the room, carving out a spatial and visual response to the intricate relationships of bach’s harmonies
a translucent fabric membrane, the ribbon is articulated by an internal steel structure suspended from the ceiling - the surface of the fabric shell undulates in a constant but changing rhythm as it is stretched over the internal structure, varying between the highly tensioned skin on the exterior of the ribbon and the soft billowing effect of the same fabric on its interior
hadid says “the design enhances the multiplicity of bach’s work through a coherent integration of formal and structural logic”
