More Than You Can Chew Through April 20 | Great Park Gallery
Extending beyond aesthetics and taste, More Than You Can Chew surveys contemporary artworks that examine the cultural, economic, and political foundations that shape our culinary experiences. Acting as conduits for discourse, the artworks included in this exhibition bring new ideas to familiar subjects. Explore the complexities of food through a lens that merges the edible with artistic integrity, showcasing that some
of the most simple and familiar things can hold hidden and elaborate meanings. Image Credit: Eriko Kobayashi, Detail of Sunny Side Up, Borosilicate Glass and Flameworking, 2022.
