Snack
On Tour: Art Gallery of WindsorJanuary 16, 2016 - October 1, 2017Snack is currently on view at the Art Gallery of Windsor through October 1, 2017.
The universal nature of food makes it an appropriate subject to critically examine themes common to contemporary art, such as politics, commerce and the intersection of art and life. Snack is a (mostly) lighthearted look at works drawn primarily from the Akron Art Museum collection that depict food or the places we buy and consume it through humor, pop culture and nostalgia.
