Charles Davis Apr 29, 2015:
Installation is right.
Lavinia Pirlog (asker) Apr 29, 2015:
Thank you, Chris. Could you post your answer, please?
Chakib Roula Apr 29, 2015:
Dear Lavinia,
More context is needed.
chris collister Apr 29, 2015:
In artspeak, "installation" has its own meaning, viz. an artful arrangement of objects (as in a still life) intended to convey a sense which is more than simply representational. So in this case, the literal "culinary installations" is appropriate.

Peer comment(s):

agree chris collister : In this specific case, display, presentation or exhibit do not convey the particular meaning of "installation" in an artistic context, IMO.
