In a monumental attempt to raise awareness about worldwide use of food resources, an international artists’ group will build an edible Pavilion in Brighton, using 10,000 kilos of vacuum-packed rice. Chris Biddlecombe, Guyan Porter and Emilia Telese, at the head of the UK based Edible Construction Company, in collaboration with Italian artist and designer Edoardo Malagigi, will create the Rice Pavilion inside the award-winning Brighton Jubilee Library, in a public art intervention taking place throughout August.

The five metre (16.4 ft) tall Rice Pavilion, complete with onion shaped domes, will be built over fourteen days with a team of volunteers, in full view of the public. The completed Pavilion will be on show for eight days inside the library, and then dismantled and distributed with the UK charity Feed the Children.
