Appetite — A reciprocal relationship between food & design is free exhibition presented by The Herb Lubalin Study Center at The Cooper Union and is open to the public.
WHAT: “Appetite, ” an innovative exhibition at 41 Cooper Gallery curated by the Herb Lubalin Study Center at The Cooper Union, illustrates the ubiquitous presence of the designer in food packaging, store and restaurant branding, cookbooks, magazines, menus and other objects—both historic and contemporary. While including important works by AvroKO, Matteo Bologna, Louise Fili, Sterling Brand’s Debbie Millman and Douglas Ricardi, the exhibition also acknowledges the subtle and unexpected ways designers influence our lives and daily relationship with food — from the pattern of the waiter’s check to the typeface on the grocery store’s price labels to the hand-painted signs on bodegas. “Appetite” will leave the viewer contemplating the influence of graphic design on food, wondering if design creates appetite?
