Diana Yeh Intentionally circumventing a historical survey or a contemporary “who’s who” approach to food in art, curators Cynthia Morrison-Bell and Anthony Key playfully conceived this exhibition as a spontaneous “pot luck” meal, by inviting a number of guest artists to bring a “dish” (or artwork) to the table. While a potentially risky venture, the intimate yet international gathering created an exciting and wide-ranging exhibition, which perhaps surprisingly for an exhibition on food offered no conventional feast for the senses but rather an opportunity to explore an impressive array of contemporary artistic, social, ethical, and political concerns. Certainly works such as Gayle Chong Kwan’s Cockaigne (2004) foodscapes, Helen Chadwick’s Meat Abstracts Diana Yeh is based in London. Her research lies in the interdisciplinary fields of art, ethnicity, and migration. She currently teaches at the University of East London and is a member of UEL’s Centre for Migration, Refugees and Belonging. dianayeh@mac.com
