eat me

curated by megan martin

according to curator megan martin: "[i'm interested in the] connection between food/eating and desire/passion. i once fell in love with someone after about 5 minutes of watching him devour a basket of hot wings and making an enormous mess; i recently witnessed this same person talking dirty to a plate of banana crepes and could hardly contain myself; i find it deeply troubling and also saddening that my roommate refuses to eat sauces in any form. " in "eat me" martin has encouraged a variety of performers to explore the theme in their own terms.
