Feast: Radical Hospitality in Contemporary Art
February 16 – June 10, 2012
Since the 1930s, numerous artists have used the simple act of sharing food and drink to advance aesthetic goals and to foster critical engagement with the culture of their moment. These artist-orchestrated meals can offer a radical form of hospitality that punctures everyday experience, using the meal as a means to shift perceptions and spark encounters that aren't always possible in a fast-moving and segmented society.
Highlights include The Act of Drinking Beer with Friends is the Highest form of Art, ritual soul food dinners, the roving Iraqi cuisine Enemy Kitchen food truck, and a series of one-on-one meals with artist Lee Mingwei, held after hours within a sculptural installation at the Smart.
