1. The challenge is to look at
BREAD in a new way.
Create as much "value" as possible
starting with ONE LOAF OF BREAD.
2. In order to create value, we first analyzed
what does VALUE mean?
According to the Oxford Dictionaries (1)
Definition of value
noun
1 [mass noun] the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of
something:your support is of great value
the material or monetary worth of something:prints seldom rise in value[count noun]:equipment is included
up to a total value of £500
the worth of something compared to the price paid or asked for it:at £12.50 the book is good value[count
noun]: North Americanthe wine represents a good value for $17.95
2 (values) principles or standards of behaviour; one’s judgement of what is important in life:they internalize
their parents' rules and values
3the numerical amount denoted by an algebraic term; a magnitude, quantity, or number:the mean value of x
4 Music the relative duration of the sound signified by a note.
5 Linguistics the meaning of a word or other linguistic unit.
6the relative degree of lightness or darkness of a particular colour:the artist has used adjacent colour values
as the landscape recedes
verb (values, valuing, valued)
[with object]1estimate the monetary worth of:his estate was valued at £45,000
2consider (someone or something) to be important or beneficial; have a high opinion of:she
had come to value her privacy
We chose to take this last interpretation of “value” in order to reframe
the challenge, instead of taking the most common solution that would
reffer to monetary value.
3. SO, WE COULD CONSIDER SOMETHING TO BE IMPORTANT OR BENEFICIAL, IN RELATION TO
THE MULTIPLE USES YOU CAN GIVE TO THAT THING…

5. Most amazingly, there are other
NON edible uses for BREAD! (12)
• Remove scorched taste from rice!! Did you leave the rice cooking too long and let it get burned? To get rid of the
scorched taste, place a slice of white bread on top of the rice while it’s still hot. Replace the pot lid and wait
several minutes. When you remove the bread, the burned taste should be gone.
• Soften up hard marshmallows: You reach for your bag of marshmallows only to discover that they’ve gone stale.
Put a couple of slices of fresh bread in the bag and seal it shut (you may want to transfer the marsh-mallows to a
self-sealing plastic bag). Leave it alone for a couple of days. When you reopen the bag, your marshmallows should
taste as good as new.
• Absorb vegetable odors: Love cabbage or broccoli, but hate the smell while it’s cooking? Try putting a piece of
white bread on top of the pot when cooking up a batch of “smelly” vegetables. It will absorb most of the odor.
• Soak up grease and stop flare-ups: To paraphrase a famous bear: Only you can prevent grease fires. One of the
best ways to prevent a grease flare-up when broiling meat is to place a couple of slices of white bread in your drip
pan to absorb the grease. It will also cut down on the amount of smoke produced.
• Pick up glass fragments: Picking up the large pieces of a broken glass or dish is usually easy enough, but getting up
those tiny slivers can be a real pain (figuratively if not literally). The easiest way to make sure you don’t miss any is
to press a slice of bread over the area. Just be careful not to prick yourself when you toss the bread into the
garbage.
• Dust oil paintings: You wouldn’t want to try this with an original Renoir, or with any museum-quality painting for
that matter, but you can clean off everyday dust and grime that collects on an oil painting by gently rubbing the
surface with a piece of white bread.
8. BREAD has been quoted... (20)
The hunger for love is
much more difficult to
remove than the hunger
for bread. Mother
Teresa
I learn something not because I Eaten bread is forgotten. Thomas Fuller
have to, but because I really
want to. That's the same view I
have for performing. I'm
performing because I really want
to, not because I have to bring
bread back home. Yo-Yo Ma
9. Artists using BREAD as a means of
expression...
Bed, by Antony Gormley
With Bed the artist returned to the theme of a sleeping place, this time
using a double mirror-image representation of his recumbent body, delineated
in the hollows eaten out of layers of sliced white bread.
