Meccadonald’s, Kenneth Hung, Digital Media, 2002
A tasty coincidence? Eat Me and Delicious are two art exhibits occurring this month in San Francisco. Check them out in person or online.
Currently on view at the Frey Norris Gallery Eat Me: Emerging Artists on Consumption is an exploration of consumer culture, and features the work of five west coast-based artists, Susan Bettag, best known for illustrating the "“Bad Girls Guides", Trek Thunder Kelly, "Super Pop" LA artist, Ema Harris-Sintamarian, nominee for SECA-SFMOMA award, Kate Eric a hugely popular local artist duo and Kenneth Hung, digital media artist who has recently shown in over 20 countries.
Over thirty five new works include interactive digital media, “consumer objects utilizing knives, condoms, and lunch bags, oil and acrylics on canvas and works on paper. Eat Me opened yesterday and runs through April 15.
Delicious is the second annual group show of art inspired by food and drink at STUDIO Gallery. Work from over 60 local artists will be on display, including everything from functional pieces and sculpture to work for the wall, from traditional still lives and landscapes of Bay Area vineyards and organic gardens to more humorous pieces from the likes of Brian Behnke, Ayu Tomikawa, Bill Dunlap, Lola, and Dave Higgins.
There are lots of small, affordable pieces in the show, as well as a number of striking larger works. Opening reception is Saturday, from 4-8 pm. The show runs from, March 1st through Sunday, April 2nd.

- Too Cool
Earlier this year at the Wired Rave Awards I met Helene Goupil and Josh Krist. They were working on an upcoming San Francisco guide book and we chatted about the SF food scene. Later I talked to them a bit more and then completely forgot about it. Last...
- Kitchen To Kitsch
Culinary art is synonymous with cuisine, and according to the dictionary it just means preparing food. But for many, food is art and inspires art. There isn't any type of artist that I can think of that hasn't been inspired by food. Sculptors,...
- Williams-sonoma Grand Opening
Yesterday was the opening of Williams-Sonoma at Union Square in San Francisco. Williams-Sonoma calls the store it's flagship. Merriam-Webster defines flagship as the finest, largest, or most important one of a series, network, or chain. And the new...
- Big Kitchens In Small Packages
The PR folks at This Old House sent me a note about this photo gallery of decked-out small kitchens. I always like to look at kitchens—on the theory that one day I'll get to remodel my own—and this little gallery offers 13 looks at diminutive...
