Food For Thought Exhibition Overview

Jacqueline Su & Marissa Meier / DES 185: Exhibition Design

Core Idea

Exhibition Outline

Contemporary portrayal of food in media shows that food has evolved to represent unpopular concepts in unconventional ways.

This exhibition will be organized into four different categories. Each of these categories explore unpopular topics about food through food as its medium/subject. This exhibition combines the work of artists, filmmakers, designers, sculptures, and photographers who have taken food--an element used to bring people together--into a new context where it continues to draw people together, as they chew on food for thought.

Exhibition Information Title: Food For Thought Venue: Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, Davis, CA Dates: November 7, 2017 – February 10, 2018 Audience: General Public Location: Temporary exhibition space Size of Space: 9,000 sq. ft./2,600 sq. meters Number of Objects: 60-100 Retail Area: Yes Interpretive Elements: full array of promotional banners, posters and other marketing graphics

FXXXD : The center of this section features work from Bettina Hubby. These everyday objects paired with a sculptures draw draw in a viewer’s curiosity. Revealed on the walls are photographs of how these objects would act together if they were personified and placed behind closed doors. This space is an exploration of sex in its diversity and inventiveness. FOOD OF THE FUTURE : This part of the exhibition invites visitors to think about the way people will interact with food in the future. Johanna Schmeer’s sculptures explore how edible, biological matter are advancing its ways into product design. Infographics designed by Gemma Warriner discuss unpopular topics about food production and waste in the year 2050. Alongside it, intriguing photographs from Godwin and Gilkey metaphorically addresses the questionability of what we will be eating in this world of modifications and digital art. FOOD ONLINE : Food Online features a fully immersive experience with a digital medium. Surrounded by large screens, the visitors are reduced in size and engulfed by colorful representations of food in its digital form. The video media being shown has paired audio that the visitor may listen to with headphones, or stand back and watch all of the videos play through. Various parts of the internet provide different perspectives of food, livestream eating known as mok-bang and food as instrument, seen in Fast Food in C-Major. GLUTTONY : Food is often scene in a redeeming light, while secreting greases and glistening in artificial light the sculpture and painting on canvases show food in its most glutenous form. Surrounded by greasy, saturated-fat-filled-foods, visitors are surrounded by the photorealistic unpopular reality of Peter Anton and Duane Hanson.

Food For Thought Interview

Jacqueline Su & Marissa Meier / DES 185: Exhibition Design

Q: Looking at the themes that we chose to explore, how is this representative what you or the department focus on? "We’re trying to take satelitte imagery data from NASA to predict food security events that can cause social uprisings...so if we know that crops are going to fail...taking that data...and being able to do machine learning to find out whether or not there will be food shortages...this is sort of what we explore as the future of food. Food security would a good theme for you to explore" "The idea that we can have kitchen robotics that...talks to the world wide web of food through hyper food markup language. What does that look like? That, that to me is the future of food." "It's really interesting when you talk about people who are overweight, they come to see that other people who are overweight as being normal. So the definition of normal has changed in terms of overweightness."

Michael Lange Associate Director of the UC Davis Initiative for Wireless Health and Wellness

Overall suggestions: - exploring more about food security, are there any infographics that talk about that? - implementing objects of future kitchenware/exploring kitchen robotics - juxtaposing pieces of gluttony with art pieces about eating disorders - curating a section out of social media

Food For Thought Lighting Research

Gluttony Utilizing the museum’s ceiling lights emphasizes the size of the space and highlight the objects. Additional lighting would distract viewers away from the pieces.

Jacqueline Su & Marissa Meier / DES 185: Exhibition Design

FXXXD Bright colored lighting helps to close in the space, giving viewers and a more intimate experience in this section.

Media Room The media room transitions into a low light space in order to display the videos as vividly as possible. Small flood lights illuminate the areas where visitors can read more about the piece.

FOOD FUTURE 2017 This part of the exhibition invites visitors to think about the way people will interact with food in the future. Johanna Schmeer’s sculptures explore how edible, biological matter are advancing its ways into product design. Infographics designed by Gemma Warriner discuss unpopular topics about food production and waste in the year 2050. Alongside it, intriguing photographs from Godwin and Gilkey metaphorically addresses the questionability of what we will be eating in this world of modifications and digital art.

Timeline graphic leads viewers into main gallery space

"By the year 2030, the United Nation predicts that there will be more people on this planet than we can feed. Technology and science can change how and what we eat, but design is critical in bringing these ideas together to create products that are elegant, intelligent and useful in combatting the coming food crisis. It is now more urgent than ever to engage in this conversation about the future of food."
