Cake
Walk is Tracy Candido, the founder, baker, and administrator of Sweet
Tooth of the Tiger, the original renegade bake sale project. Sweet Tooth
of the Tiger has been circulating its bake sale table since April of 2008
and has set up shop at art and culture events in New York City and Brooklyn.
Locations have included institutions such as Exit Art, ABC No Rio, Secret
Project Robot, The Design Trust for Public Space, Smack Mellon, and DCTV.
Press includes BUST Magazine, Time Out NY, American Craft Magazine, and
DailyCandy.com. |
| Tracy
is interested in exploring multiple platforms for examining the social practice
of eating, the effect of sugar on the body and the cultural implications
of sweetness. Along with Cake Walk and Sweet Tooth of the Tiger, Tracy has
also developed the Bake Sale Residency for Artists, a mini residency-grant
for artists who like to bake, as well as authoring essays on sustainable
creative practice in the arts and participating as a panelist in discussions
surrounding artist-run support networks. She holds an MA from NYU in Visual
Culture Theory. True to her entrepreneurial spirit, Tracy combines her appetite
for cultural theory and art criticism with an effort to financially sustain
her own practice with fun and monetarily profitable adventures. |
