Curated by Monty Blanchard and Leslie Tcheyan

Fountain House Gallery, representing artists living with mental illness, presents a group show At the Table, which celebrate­s food and the experience of eating.

At the Table is curated by Monty Blanchard and Leslie Tcheyan, who said in a joint statement, “Fountain House sets a welcoming table for all. The artists of the Gallery reflect the diverse fantasies and flavors of the wider Fountain House community, and bring their unique tastes and visions to a table that always has room for one more.” Blanchard, who currently serves as President of the Board of Trustees of the American Folk Art Museum, is a former investment banker and an active collector of folk and outsider art, vernacular photography, and ethnographic and indigenous arts from around the world. Tcheyan has worked in the world of jewelry for the past three decades. Most recently, she founded Of Rare Origin with her two daughters. Their debut collection, featuring whimsical Avian designs plus other exclusive inspirations, continues to capture the attention of retailers and editors worldwide. Tcheyan and Blanchard share a passion for learning and for discovering new artists and their creations.

This exhibition examines various elements related to food, from its physical presence and beauty to dining with
friends or family – or in solitude. When individuals come together “at the table,” there can be a sense of joy and community, or of stress and alienation. The works spotlighted in the show speak to the diversity of these experiences.

At the Table features pieces in mediums including acrylic and watercolor, pen and ink, ceramic, fabric, mixed media, digital photography, and more.
This program is funded, in part, by generous support from the Hearst Foundation, Inc., the Renate, Hans and Maria Hofmann Trust, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, the David Rockefeller Fund, and the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund.
