Feast for the Eyes is a photographic smorgasbord at the Polygon, March 4 to May 30
The tantalizing exhibition delves into the history of photography through food
Feast for the Eyes: The Story of Food in Photography runs at the Polygon from March 4 to May 30.
A NEW EXHIBITION at the Polygon—a Canadian premiere—tracks the evolution of photography with a focus on one of the form’s earliest subjects. Feast for the Eyes: The Story of Food in Photography features works by more than 60 artists, including Man Ray, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, Paul Strand, Ouka Leele, and Weegee.
Co-curated by writer Susan Bright and Aperture Foundation’s senior editor Denise Wolff, Feast for the Eyes started with Aperture Foundation’s 2017 publication of the book of the same.
The exhibition is made up of three sections: Still Life examines how food is prepared for visual consumption; Around the Table explores rituals and cultural identify that spring from the social dynamics of eating; and Playing with Food, which is a snapshot of the role of food in play and performance.
See the Polygon for hours, COVID-19 policies and procedures, tours, and more.
