Discomfort Food

Curated by Professor Deborah Varat

September 10th to October 10th, 2015

Opening Reception: Thursday, September 10th; 5:00 to 7:00pm

There has been a dramatic coming together in recent years of the disciplines of high art and food. Contemporary artists have used food as a medium, food photography is a growing and lucrative profession, exhibitions have been held in major museums on the theme of food. This exhibit will focus on a particular theme running through contemporary food-related art, namely the strange and alien nature of food when taken out of its natural context.

Artists include: Stephanie Chubbuck, Harold Edgerton, Emily Eveleth, Beth Galton, Michiko Kon, Nate Larson, Ilana Manolson, Vera Mercer, Tara Sellios, Richella Simard, Kathleen Volp.

Turn for the MFA Blog

Ok, so all of you who have followed or are following I am going to be using this blog for a professional artists blog now. As noted, a name change, and other alterations on the blog to adjust it properly. Those of you who may be current MFA students and using it as a resource can access all my posts made during the MFA program, artist connections I have listed with websites, and previous selected (earlier) written work from my MFA. Most likely my Thesis Paper will be posted in its own page here as well so if you are interested in reading that, watch for it. I will have an updated resume as well. 

Continue to look and learn as the travel of a growing artist continues! 

As always, thanks for your support. 

Check out the website as it also continues to grow into what I want: www.richellasimard.com
