Feast Curators Talk April 3 at 1:30pm

Join Feast for the Eyes curators Susan Bright and Denise Wolff for an online talk where they discuss their exhibition at The Polygon Gallery. Part of Capture Photography Festival. 

Feast for the Eyes explores the rich history of food as one of photography’s most prevalent and enduring subjects. In an age where sharing images of food has emerged as a unique facet of contemporary culture, this exhibition offers a look at the timeless ways in which things we eat shape us and our perceptions of the world.

Featuring works by some of the most important artists of the past century, the presentation includes Nobuyoshi Araki, Buy Bourdin, Nan Goldin, Vik Muniz, Ed Ruscha, Cindy Sherman, Wolfgang Tillmans, Andy Warhol, Weegee, and 50 more. The exhibition foregrounds their images within a history of artistic, commercial, fashion, and science photography, providing an unexpected and remarkable survey of food’s central role in our lives.

Feast for the Eyes is organized by Aperture Foundation and curated by Susan Bright and Denise Wolff.

The exhibition at The Polygon is generously supported by The Babalos Family, and Paula Palyga and David Demers, through their membership in The Polygon’s Exhibition Circle.
