From Lens to Hands: Visual Representations of Food

This panel, organized by the Experimental Cuisine Collective as part of the Umami Food and Art Festival, explores how artists, photographs, designers, and cooks use food in their creative work, based on their specific approach. Panelists Emilie Baltz, Corin Hewitt, Brian Sullivan, Michael Harlan Turkell, and Jason Wright (click for full bios) will begin by each discussing the function of visual representation and how they address it based on their purpose (aesthetic, communicative, performative, etc.), touching on notions such as the role played by their desired or expected audience and considerations given to the potential commercial value of their work. Fabio Parasecoli will then moderate a general conversation among them, further interrogating some of the themes that emerged from their initial comments. In the third part of the panel, the conversation will be expanded to the audience.

Please RSVP by registering above.
