ROOT DIVISION PRESENTS: Second Saturday, April 2013
Edible Ephemera|Taste 2013 Preview
Curator: Victoria Mara Heilweil
Second Saturday Reception: Saturday, April 13, 7-10pm
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Food can be seductive, nurturing or toxic, but it is always temporal. Edible, living things are always in flux. When growing food, the form changes over time from seed to plant, in cooking food we often combine and/or alter the physical state, and in digestion food becomes nutrients and waste materials. Food is not stable, and unless it has been transformed it will not last.
Edible Ephemera examines the fleeting temporal nature of food through works that utilize transmutation. Each artist uses ingestibles as initial source material, and then through processes such as alchemy, preservation and documentation transforms the state to one more permanent. This new state retains the essence of the original food while morphing into something new.
