'Food Forward' at Stroom Den Haag
15 January - 11 March '12
Netherlands
‘Food Forward’ zooms in on the personal and intimate relationship between man and food.
While some of the future visions presented in 'Food Forward' might seem more realistic or plausible than others, all of them are rooted in today’s scientific research and existing or developing applications. The artists and designers in the exhibition take these scientific as well as societal developments further and present far-reaching visualizations and scenarios for the future.
‘Food Forward’ is curated by the Belgian curator Karen Verschooren. She studied communication sciences in Leuven and at MIT (Cambridge, USA). Verschooren works at Z33 - house for contemporary art - in Hasselt (BE) and is the chairman of the assessment committee for audiovisual arts at the Flemish Community. Recent exhibitions by Verschooren include 'Werk Nu' (2009) and 'Alter Nature' (2010-2011). This summer 'Mind the System, Find the Gap' will open at Z33.
