ANNOUNCEMENT: UPCOMING EXHIBITION
Frida Foberg
Eating Structure
Exhibition
April 2022
Description (Eating Structure)
Eating Structure is a peek into Frida Foberg’s works of installations. Over several years she has been focusing on the question ‘Why are we eating together?’, where she explores daily scenarios, tweaks and translates them into interactive installations and performances. Her works are invitations for self-reflection, to provoke awareness about how we interact with ourselves, with others and with our contexts. In the exhibition Eating Structure, Frida is offering a unique constellation of her previously exhibited works.
Join us for the opening reception of Eating Structure on Sunday May 1st at 1-2pm.
