Who Is Kaye Winwood

Kaye Winwood is an artist who initially trained as a painter in the late eighties. Throughout her career, Kaye’s interests in art production and curation have been linked to the concept of Conviviality, emphasizing art as an experience rather than simply an object to be viewed. This led her to explore the use of food as an artistic medium, eventually leading her to curate with food as a primary focus. Kaye’s innovative approach to art and her commitment to creating immersive experiences have made a significant impact on the art world. Kaye is a huge part of Birmingham’s food scene, exploring the more interesting aspects of dining & eating.

What Is Gulp

In the heart of Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter, Gulp is a distinctive and intimate venue for those seeking an extraordinary space. Housed within a stunning Grade II listed building, Gulp is not only a testament to the quarter’s rich heritage but also a testament to the creative vision of Kaye Winwood. Kaye envisioned Gulp as more than just a venue—it’s a unique canvas for immersive experiences. The 10-person communal dining room, adorned with sumptuous details, offers an ideal setting for intimate gatherings. Its onsite kitchen sets Gulp apart, ensuring a seamless blend of hospitality and culinary artistry. This space is not merely a venue; it’s a sensory haven designed for those with curious appetites and a passion for the extraordinary.

Adjacent to Gulp is Kaye Winwood’s creative studio, where her love for art, innovation, and sensory design comes to life. Here, Kaye fuses her extensive artistic background with her unique ‘beyond-the-plate’ approach, transforming the dining experience into a sensorial playground. With a profound commitment to reconsidering food as an art material, Kaye invites audiences to engage, explore, and savour moments that go beyond traditional boundaries. Gulp, with its combination of a thoughtfully designed communal space and Kaye’s adjacent studio, is a testament to the power of creativity and the potential to reshape our perceptions of art, dining, and shared experiences in the heart of Birmingham’s vibrant cultural landscape.
