Whitten Overby, graduate student in the History of Architecture and Urbanism, will discuss his special installation, Consuming Food in Space: Historical and Cultural Representations of Eating and Drinking. This chronological narrative of food consumption in Europe and the Americas from the Renaissance to today presents drawings, prints, photographs, and paintings from the Johnson’s permanent collection that depict and emphasize cross-cultural uses (and abuses) of food as a symbolic and functional staple of everyday life. The installation will be on view April 9–16 in conjunction with the graduate conference The Language of Food (April 13–14) at Cornell.
