Art performance at Tadao Ando's concrete MPavilion features grayscale gelato
An exciting and tasty art performance has taken shape at the Tadao Ando-designed MPavilion in Melbourne, Australia. It comes in the form of grayscale gelato, created by Brazilian artist João Loureiro in collaboration with local creamery Piccolina Gelateria. The ice cream is available in six different flavors, each a different shade of gray ranging from light gray to nearly black. No flavors are labeled, stimulating a unique and surprising sensory experience with pavilion visitors during the Australian summer months.
