Indoors, Black Pearls, textured chocolate spheres filled with grape jelly and jasmine cream, sat within spiral spherical recesses on The Panel, a mirrored stainless steel tray reflecting the room as pieces were removed. A Drop Within, a translucent sphere with a deep-red core, was supported by The Stands, an assembly of circular acrylic panels and curved metal joints fastened with fashion-derived snap buttons instead of threaded hardware.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"edible sculptures and snap-button metal armatures activate philip johnson's wolfhouse in NY - 2\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1793177890_454_island-on-land-transforms-philip-johnsons-wolfhouse-through-edible-landscapes-and-spatial-interventi.jpeg\" width=\"818\" height=\"1090\"\/>Black Pearls, edible sculptures by Lang Lang, presented on The Panel, a mirrored stainless steel installation by Xie Peng<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>TRANSIENT EDIBLE MEDIA CONTRASTS MODERNIST ARCHITECTURAL SPACE<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the exterior patio framing views of the Hudson River, Red Soil combined buckwheat, fig, and chocolate terrain atop The Table, a two-panel aluminum surface joined with snap fasteners and red steel stabilization rods.

Dispersed across the landscape, A Quiet Turn positioned biodegradable door handles directly on the turf. The non-linear sequence allowed attendees to navigate the estate freely, consuming the perishable elements while the fabricated armatures remained.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"edible sculptures and snap-button metal armatures activate philip johnson's wolfhouse in NY - 3\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1793177890_414_island-on-land-transforms-philip-johnsons-wolfhouse-through-edible-landscapes-and-spatial-interventi.jpeg\" width=\"818\" height=\"1090\"\/>detail of Black Pearls by Lang Lang, with individually crafted edible spheres arranged across the reflective surface of The Panel by Xie Peng<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NO.29 STUDIO STAGES SITE-SPECIFIC EDIBLE SCULPTURES AT Wolfhouse \u00a0 Presented on October 10th, 2026, at Wolfhouse, a 1949&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":667652,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[38722,307,304,305,306,308,93,36689,221563,61,60,3023],"class_list":["post-667651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-architecture-in-new-york","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-exhibition-design","tag-food-art","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sculpture"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=667651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667651\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/667652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=667651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=667651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=667651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
