Brooklyn Museum’s “Art-ocrats” Ball: The Remains
Curator, critic, and blogger Nicole J. Caruth didn’t attend last week’s food event at the Brooklyn Museum but she did get in for the after party. During her post-bacchanalia visit she was able to shoot the remains of the food orgy.
Curator, critic, and blogger Nicole J. Caruth didn’t attend last week’s food gala at the Brooklyn Museum but she did get in for the after party. During her post-bacchanalia visit she was able to shoot the remains of the food orgy. The images are utterly surreal when juxtaposed against the European paintings in the distance.
She writes, “ … I was looking at piles of cooked rabbits and mangled pig carcasses in the third-floor Beaux-Arts Court. I heard from a few meat lovers on staff that even they found this scene disturbing.”
I think someone at the Brooklyn Museum needs to start circulating a copy of Food, Inc. to the staff.
