- **Event Description**: conversation x performanceAbout this EventJoin us at Reference Point to celebrate the London launch of Waves Lost at Sea, a new publication by Cooking Sections. The evening brings them together with Duval Timothy, Nerea Calvillo, and Theodossis Issaias, alongside live performance by ILĀ, in a programme reflecting on acts of reading and translation as ways of sensing and making sense of a world in transformation.The book itself traces Cooking Sections’ evolving practice across visual arts, architecture, and ecology. Since 2013, they have been investigating anthropogenic space, industrial food systems, and human-made climates: from artificially coloured farmed salmon and drained buffalo wetlands to ocean-filtering oysters and Sicilian tomatoes outlawed under EU regulations. Their research-based practice examines the legal, environmental, and metabolic struggles behind what ends up on our plates, while also opening pathways for different ecological futures.The publication brings together newly commissioned essays by Nerea Calvillo, Sria Chatterjee, Ros Gray, Yayo Herrero, Theodossis Issaias, Mari Margil, and Bárbara Rodríguez Muñoz, alongside an extensive series of images with detailed captions and reflective annotations. The book moves through legal fictions, queer ecologies, disappearing landscapes, multispecies entanglements, and speculative tastes. Through these layered investigations, Waves Lost at Sea invites readers to rethink food cultures and agricultural imaginaries, decentering humans at both microscopic and planetary scales.Waves Lost at Sea is co-published by Fundación Botín and Spector Books on the occasion of the namesake exhibition at Centro Botín, Santander (October 2025 – February 2026).Nerea Calvillo is an architect and researcher who investigates the intersection between architecture, science and technology, as well as feminist studies, new materials and urban political ecology. She is the author of Aeropolis: Queering Air in Toxicpolluted Worlds and Associate Professor at the University of Warwick.Cooking Sections investigates the systems that shape the world through food, tracing the spatial, ecological, and political legacies of extractivism. Founded in London in 2013 by Daniel Fernández Pascual and Alon Schwabe, their practice uses food as both a lens and a tool to trace the metabolic relations behind industrialised food systems.ILĀ is an artist, producer, and vocalist operating at the intersection of quantum computer music, AI, and human voice — crafting immersive sonic worlds that question identity and liberation. ILĀ is the co-founder and director of London Contemporary Voices.Theodossis Issaias is an architect and educator. As a co-founding member of FATURA Collaborative, he develops research through exhibitions, publications, and field-based design inquiries that examine environmental transformation and the spatial politics of shared infrastructures. He is Professor of Practice at Carnegie Mellon University and Curator of Architecture at the Heinz Architectural Center at the Carnegie Museum of Art.Duval Timothy is a multi-disciplinary artist working and living between London, UK and Freetown, Sierra Leone. Working across composition, painting, photography, sculpture, design, food, and textiles he has released several studio albums and EP’s.SCHEDULE19:00 Arrivals19:30 Duval Timothy plays an excerpt from Waves Lost at Sea19:35 Amy Sherlock (tbc) and Cooking Sections Introduction to Reading Ocean Imprints19:50 Rocco performs Laundry Rack19:55 Theo Issaias reads an excerpt from Where Three Rivers Kiss20:00 Duval Timothy plays an excerpt from Waves Lost at Sea20:05 Conversation: Nerea Calvillo and Theo in conversation about queer flows and leaky worlds20:15 Nerea reads an excerpt from Licking Leakages for Leaking Worlds20:20 Rocco performs Kitchen Counter20:25 Duval plays an excerpt from Waves Lost at Sea20:30 Drinks and celebration
