SVA Gramercy Gallery
This event has ended.
School of Visual Arts presents “Putting It All on the Table,” featuring a selection of works by students in the MFA Design for Social Innovation Department. Curated by Kevin O’Callaghan, department faculty member and chair of 3D Design.
The exhibition features 25 artists from 12 countries: Elizabeth Abernathy, Covadonga Abril, Anna Luiza Braga, Rachel Dixon, Jenny Emmons, Carl Landegger, Ashley Larsen, Laura Kadamus, Gina Kim, Michelle Kwon, Meghan Lazier, Juno Lee, Xintong Liu, Akshata Malhotra, Pragya Mishra, Meryl Natow, Robin Newman, Kate Nicholson, Renzo Perez-Acosta, Swar Raisinghani, Rhea Rakshit, Haya Shaath, Maria Perez Tello, Yuka Uogishi and Liora Yuklea.
In this exhibition, each artist is given a wooden table as a platform on which to present unique cultural perspectives regarding the global issue of food. According to O’Callaghan, “Food is a primary concern for everything that lives, regardless of where it is on the food chain. Food systems and food safety are central to social innovation and essential to solving issues of poverty, health, economics, justice and environment. ‘Putting it all on the table’ is an expression that means to be completely transparent and forthright. In terms of communication, it means not holding back on the real issues.”
