The SAD School of Artists Development, Department of Bread transforms bread-making into a satirical exploration of education and validation systems, critiquing the relentless pursuit of credentials in a society fixated on external measures of success. Through workshops like Flourglass, where flour and time slip away in futile races against the clock, and the Shape and Score Clinic, where dough is shaped but never allowed to rise, the project playfully exposes the absurdities of institutional pressures. Surreal photographs from the Stretch series, blending yoga poses with intertwined masses of dough, reflect the balancing act between external expectations and raw creativity. By focusing on process over results, the work challenges visitors to question how institutions shape value and meaning, offering a humorous yet reflective critique of a system where showing up often matters more than true learning or growth.
