MAIN EXHIBITION: Occupying Potato: An Exhibition of Contemporary Potato Art
Curated by Jeffrey Allen Price
The Potato Revolution continues with an international exhibition of contemporary Potato Art at the Islip Art Museum. “Occupying Potato” brings together a wide range of works by artists deriving inspiration from different aspects of the Potato. This exhibit explores the potato as the most nutritional and abundant vegetable in the world; looks at its storied history and wide-ranging scientific uses and its spiritual aspects as well as its enduring comedic potential, and the prevalence of the potato in popular culture – a very unique exhibition.
