Absurd Appetites
Reception and artist talk Thursday, Jan. 23, 5 p.m.
Absurd Appetites distorts the norms of a typical dining experience. Considering the deconstruction and consumption of the body, absurd actions surprise and set the tone for the examination of our roles within gendered labor, sexuality, and domestic space. Humor tempers the seriousness of these topics to avoid confrontation at the dinner table.
