Maggie Shen: '_____SCAPE'
On view at the Athenaeum Art Center during two performances
In an intricate interdisciplinary installation, artist Maggie Shen is combining food with her study of landscapes and the environment, home and societies. Using performance, interactive edible sculpture, permanent sculpture, AR and animation, Shen wants visitors to think about the large-scale systems involved in food production, harvesting and consumption — and their impacts — by making the scope much smaller. Inside a gallery, for example.
