FOOD IN NEW YORK

Designed using sustainable and food-derived materials, such as mycelium lamps by Danielle Trophe, chairs from recycled beer kegs, and pineapple leather.. This 3,400 sq ft exhibition also included additional outdoor terrace space with  furniture made from used lobster traps and a greenhouse consisting of repurposed stained glass.

From the show’s red- and green-hued entryways to bio-art pioneer Suzanne Anker‘s mesmerizing petri dishes and Tom Fruin’s “Bombora House” of discarded street signs, the exhibit paints a bright pathway forward.

Food is a powerful social network binding New Yorkers to each other and with countless others across the globe. The city's raucous restaurant scene; its ubiquitous street food; the current activist efforts to source food locally; the world's largest food market in Hunts Point; and the artists, thinkers, and designers who are imagining new sustainable ways to relate to food, are all a part of the exhibition.
