The (Food) Artist’s Palate

Scion, 2 Food: it’s not just for eating anymore. So think the artists involved in Palate, a soon-to-open exhibition in Los Angeles that aims to ‘explore food as a muse and medium’. The works on display range from cute (Clare Crespo’s crocheted food) to creepy (a mound of skulls made out of bread baked by artist Jeph Gurecka), with a whole lot of arty-foodie goodness in between. Also on the menu: monstrous cake sculptures, a collection of retro candy wrappers, a vintage cookbook library, and a photograph of a death row inmate’s last meal request.

Scion, 1 The exhibition, which is being housed in the Scion Installation Space in Culver City, debuts tomorrow, May 22, and runs until June 12. The show is definitely worth a stop if you’re passing through LA, but just be sure to bring some snacks with you – that food’s not for eating.
