Food for Thought
Simply put: Food gets people's attention. That's one reason public artists are using it effectively as an artistic medium. Food offers multisensory experiences for audiences, encouraging curiosity, questions, and delight. It also provides an intimate way for artists to learn about and address the needs of communities and sites. In the following pages you'll read about the challenges artists face when they work with food, the various ways they're using food to address social, political, and environmental issues, and ways audiences naturally come together around food-based projects to eat, experience, and think. Bon appetit!
