CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Détourned Menu: Food in the Form of Activism

Détourned Menu presents a collection of artists who perceive their work as tactical treats, ones that are used to infiltrate contemporary visual culture.

By providing food for thought, as well as something to fill one’s belly, these artists produce work that disrupts the visual and spatial codes of everyday life. The subversive concoctions created for Détourned Menu will demonstrate how food consumption is saturated with additional dimensions of meaning that can be understood as stemming variously from economic, social, ethical, ceremonial, fetishistic or gluttonous concerns ... ideas that move beyond the notion of eating just for survival.

These complex relationships infuse what we choose to eat with political connotations, and the edible provocations thus presented can be understood as being prepared in the spirit of the Situationist term “détournement”, which in translation simply means a “diversion,” hijack - or quite simply to turn a pre-existing meaning on it’s head.
