Chef James

From September 12th – 20th, New York City hosted the second annual North Food Festival. The world’s top Scandinavian chefs gathered from across the globe to showcase their techniques at various tastings, cooking classes, food competitions, and kitchen collaborations.

As part of the impressive lineup, KLINIK partner SKÁL hosted a successful collaboration between SKÁL executive chef, James Kim and Gísli Matthías Auðunsson, co-owner and chef of Slippurinn Eatery, from Westman Islands, Iceland — a chef and restaurant sharing SKAL’s passion for fresh seafood, homegrown herbs, and seasonal ingredients.

Chefs Kim and Gísli joined forces to create an exclusive dinner collaboration featuring an eight-course menu of fresh, regional cuisine as well as an innovative array of Nordic cocktails. The cocktails, which featured uncommon ingredients such as pickled rhubarb, birch liquor, and arctic thyme, were so well received that they will be included on the SKÁL drink menu throughout the winter.

WK & KLINIK | Moving art forward

/0 Comments/in /by

Internationally renowned artist WK Interact has partnered with KLINIK to explore new mediums, combining their resources to break new ground, creating dynamic art and collectable products. With support from KLINIK, WK is advancing his vision of “interacting” with environments to new levels, unbounded by physical limitations of canvas or stationary walls.

Recently, KLINIK presented WK/ACT4 in the Meatpacking District during a 9 day exhibit.

WK (aka WK Interact) is a French born, New York based artist who has pioneered street art for over two decades. His fascination with the human body in motion, expressed in paintings of figures that convey dynamic movement, are emblematic of his artistic exploration and immense talent. In the late 1990’s his images began appearing on building facades in downtown Manhattan, complementing the constant stir of bodies and perpetual motion in the fast-paced city. WK’s work has been displayed in galleries and public installations spanning the globe.
