A Matter of Taste, the curatorial debut from Babylon Young Curator, Nancy Mead, is a visual feast which explores the aesthetics of food in a mouth-watering display of paintings, photography, and sculpture. The exhibition will be open to the public from 5th October to 29th October, at Babylon Gallery.
Nancy has taken the universal topic of food, and translated it into a delicious exhibition, featuring a selection of artists who work in a variety of styles, exploring this theme. Along with the artists’ work, the exhibition will include submissions from the recent Sunday Lunch competition, where the public will be able to vote for their favourite. From still lives, to giant sculptures, she hopes that it will be engaging to all.
“Food can be used to unify, celebrate and entice, evoking memories, smells and tastes. Life’s great meals are unforgettable – delicious home-cooked food shared with those we love is an essential pleasure,” says Nancy.
“Food can be a reflection of self, family, memories and heritage. For me a table of amazing food shared with loved ones is one of life’s great pleasures!”
Nancy is an Ely resident and has a background in Fine Art Photography. She was selected as a Babylon Young Curator earlier this year. As a curator, she is passionate about attracting new audiences to an artistic environment that connects and inspires.
The Babylon Young Curator programme offers an opportunity for young people to develop their skills and experience in bringing together exciting and innovative exhibitions with support from arts professionals.
Babylon Arts are able to run the Young Curators project due to the generous support of Arts Council England’s National Lottery Project Grants. To help Babylon Arts to keep offering projects like this for our local community they are calling for the community to donate to their charitable work via the Babylon Arts website.
A Matter of Taste is on Thursday 5th October at Babylon Gallery Sunday 29th October. Babylon Gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday, 12pm to 4pm with free entry.
