The Baron's Palate Pop Up
Arts & Events - by Open Journal
Fitzroy venue and event collective The Baron Said are about to launch their most ambitious project to date.
In a backstreet warehouse in Fitzroy, The Baron’s Palate is a series of four unique events that entwine art, design, drinking and dining in a thoroughly non-traditional fashion.
Co-director Jasmin Lefer’s explains “the desire is to create an experience that uniquely incorporates the three great fields of design, food and art, and deliver them in a way that will refresh peoples perceptions”.
The collective take their name from a character created by 18th century scholar and writer Sir Martin Lang, in whose book “The Intangible Mask” is the story of ‘The Baron’, an anonymous nobleman famous for extravagant parties.
The Baron’s Palate features the work of designers including Aaron McKenzie, Andre Hnatojko, Christopher Boots, Marc Pascal, Mark Douglass, Ilan el and Volker Haug; cocktails by the West Winds Gin and food creations by Andreas Papadakis of Comida Bebe, Matt Forbes and Anthony Hart of The Press Club Group.
