Taste 2009

OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS:
TASTE 2009 Exhibition at ROOT DIVISION
Exhibition Dates: April 8 - 25, 2009
Curator: Sarah Klein

Deadline for submission: Monday, February 9, 2009
Eligibility Requirements
• Artists from all areas will be reviewed, however, keep in mind that this exhibit and accompanying event emphasizes food and issues surrounding the San Francisco Bay Area.
• Artwork submitted for review (or work very similar in nature to that submitted) must be available for listed exhibition dates.

From the curator:
Food gives us sustenance and is necessary to our survival. What we eat, where it comes from, the rituals associated with food, the fantasies and desires around food are all part of the feast.

In this year’s annual exhibition Taste we are looking at food from a slightly different angle to see how it is transformed from the raw material to the meal on our plate. From the tractor to the toothpick we are looking for artists who use food related objects (drinking straws, chopsticks, silverware etc…) and rituals (fasting, cooking, planting) to explore the way food is harvested, preserved, offered, and prepared.
