About the Exhibition

Consumption is a week of events that explore our relationship with food—from cultivating and harvesting to distribution and preparation. The Institute of Contemporary Art at MECA&D will host free lectures, film screenings, workshops and youth programming from April 17–19. The event is sponsored by Artists in Context, a non-profit organization that supports the research-based, multidisciplinary, embedded practices of contemporary artists and other creative thinkers who seek to invent alternative approaches to existing societal challenges.

Special thanks to Maple’s Organics for providing the finest, handcrafted gelato. The heart of their business is to showcase the exceptional produce of Maine, working with local family farms to source the majority of their ingredients.
