Meat and Potatoes

Crawford Art Gallery, Emmet Place

Sat 16 Jul 2022 - Sun 06 Nov 2022 (note: this event has already taken place)
10am
FREE


Eye-catching, thought-provoking and mouth-watering in equal measure, Meat and Potatoes will open across two floors of exhibition space at Crawford Art Gallery this summer.

Bringing together works by historic and contemporary artists who have used food as their muse in myriad ways, the exhibition will be organised into three primary sections – BREAD, MEAT and POTATOES – which will be presented as staples in the history of food-focused art, as well as our personal diets throughout the ages. Visitors will have the opportunity to survey an abundance of food-related artworks produced over the last four centuries, from still lifes, to dining utensils and cookware, to video works and installations that consider the politics and concerns that have shaped perspectives on food right up to our present moment. 

A feast for all the senses, Meat and Potatoes will whet the appetite of anyone who has ever thought about food as a source of sustenance not only for the body, but also for the eyes, the mind, the soul, and society at large.
