Foreword by David Shrigley, David Fennessy, and Nicholas Bone. Pass the Spoon is the libretto for David Shrigley’s wildly popular “sort-of opera.” Here, Shrigley applies his mordant humor to this tale of a surreal cooking show gone awry. Described as “daft and instantly lovable” by The Guardian, Pass the Spoon features two TV chefs (June Spoon and Philip Fork), a manic-depressive alcoholic egg, a Latino banana and a host of other bizarre characters. This publication accompanies the artist’s first major retrospective at Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, and the opera’s first performance in London.
