The Potato Eaters

The Potato Eaters is an exhibition that examines the ways we consider the unarticulated rigor of ordinary encounters. Things like refrigerators, bedside tables, mantels, and even our cell phones contain evidence of the ways we unconsciously curate and display the things we value. This show is an opportunity to move around the idea of the authority of the art object by seeing them as daily negotiations with the tangible and intangible stuff that makes up a life. As one begins to inform the other, we wonder how the everyday becomes art, and art becomes the everyday. - Dawn Cerny and Dan Webb
