"Piccinini has brought a cake she sculpted and baked herself. She wanted to incorporate her artistic style into it: a flesh colored fondant cake in the shape of the stem cells she created in Still Life with Stem Cells(2006). Louise is delighted and cuts herself a slice. Calder has brought a platter of assorted cheeses cut into geometric shapes: cubes, pyramids, and spheres. He includes toothpicks and string so everyone can create their own edible mobiles. Although Bourgeois did not like his artworks, she reluctantly builds a sculpture by piling spheres of cheese to create a male reproductive organ which she then microwaves to give it the “quivering and oozing” quality her works are infamously known for"
