Biography
Alice Héron is a chef and interdisciplinary artist who graduated from the Rietveld Academie Design Lab in 2017. French, she currently lives in Marseille after living and working in Singapore, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin. Her work explores sensory experiences around food, immersive environments and visceral sculptures. Through her conceptual dinners and buffets, she fuses cuisine, sculpture and design to offer a total experience. Her creations question the relationship between food, body, mind and history, exploring how these elements intersect and nourish each other.
Medici Residency
Since 2022, Villa Medici has welcomed cooks as residents. For the duration of their stay, they take over the kitchens of the French Academy in Rome to feed the residents and staff and build a culinary project.
