Artist Statement

I am an interdisciplinary conceptual artist who interrogates the systems we find ourselves embedded in as a way to open up space for the social, the restful, and the hopeful. I draw inspiration from the food we eat, the recipes we pass down, and the places that remind us of home. I often place myself in my work as a facilitator of dialogue, as a provocateur asking critical questions, as a host creating space for people to come together. I use food—in particular the act of cooking, gathering, and sharing meals—as an entry point into new discursive and public spheres.

Artist Bio 2024

Daniel Pravit Fethke (b. 1993, New York, NY) is an interdisciplinary artist working in film, performance, social practice, and installation. Teaching is a central part of his practice, and he regularly facilitates workshops, cooking classes, and creative gatherings that center food and recipes as ways to explore identity, narrative, and culture. He co-founded the mutual aid food pop-up Angry Papaya, and has hosted workshops at Dia:Beacon, Socrates Sculpture Park, and the Performing Garage. Daniel has held several artist residencies, including at the Wassaic Project (2024), the Woodstock-Byrdcliffe Guild (2024), and as a Culinary Resident at the Ox-Bow School of Art (2024-25). He has exhibited work internationally in Bangkok, Berlin, Barcelona, and domestically at the Yale School of Art, Recess Art Space, and the Knockdown Center. He recently published an autobiographical Thai-American cookbook through Pratt Institute, where he also received his MFA in Fine Arts in 2023. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn.
