The companion to a one-of-a-kind exhibition at the University of
Chicago's Smart Museum of Art, "Feast: Radical Hospitality in
Contemporary Art" explores the role of the meal in contemporary
art. "Feast" offers the first survey of the artist-orchestrated
meal: since the 1930s, the act of sharing food and drink has been
used to advance aesthetic goals and foster critical engagement with
the culture of the moment. Both exhibition catalogue and reader,
this richly illustrated book offers an interdisciplinary
exploration of the art of the meal and its relationship to
questions about hospitality, politics, and culture. From the
Italian Futurists' banquets in the 1930s, to 1960s and '70s
conceptual and performative work, to the global prevalence of
socially engaged practice today, "Feast" considers a diverse group
of artists who have taken on practices of sharing food with
friends, families, and strangers. After an essay by curator
Stephanie Smith, the book includes new interviews with over twenty
contributing artists and reprinted excerpts of classic texts. It
also features a selection of contextual essays contributed by an
international group of critics, writers, curators, and scholars.
