Flavor Profile
Food involves labor. It is a material and an object whose combinations can create a composition. It can be elevated in its presentation and used to mediate borders. Food represents and measures the cycles of life, from germination, to fruit, and eventual decay. Its presence can be humorous, sentimental, and deeply reactive. The artists in Flavor Profile embody these ideas by demonstrating food’s universal humanist understanding, reflecting our own idiosyncrasies, culture, and histories. Using food as its source, both directly and indirectly, each artist’s contributions create an overarching show, or meal.
