Explorations in Contemporary Art

Curated by Sarah Tanguy

Food: it is life sustaining, a form of cultural expression, a part of big business, a challenge to dieters, a source of comfort, and a symbol of prosperity. As fast-food culture has taught us, the choices we make about food impact the health of individuals and the earth’s environment.

In Food Matters, 24 artists explore the concept of food from start to finish – how it is prepared, consumed, and presented in America. The result is a rich and provocative sampling in all media. Full of beauty, humor and surprise, the works on display awaken the senses, conjure up memories, and question assumptions, while breaking down the barriers between art and life.
