For this Artists at Work, ISCP artist-in-residence Jude Griebel will be joined by cultural producer and curator Lucien Zayan. Griebel and Zayan share an interest in food traditions and the ways that meals foster connection and community. Griebel will present his work and speak to Zayan about the emotional landscape of meat consumption and how it has been negotiated in art history, the collective imagination, and by the factory food system. They will also discuss speculative food futures. A Q&A with the audience will follow.
Jude Griebel’s sculptures visualize society's conflicted entanglement with the natural world. The resources we harvest, the species we affect, and the waste we create, coalesce as vivid forms that illuminate the extent of human consumption. Recent projects highlight the extermination of plant and insect species and lives within the factory food system. While mourning humanity's capacity for destruction, these pieces are equally hopeful in their display of nature's agency and resistance. Griebel has exhibited work at Massey Klein Gallery, New York; CHART, New York; and Esker Foundation, Calgary, among others.
As the Founder and Director of the Invisible Dog Art Center in Brooklyn, Lucien Zayan has established a dynamic and innovative hub for contemporary art, fostering creativity and interdisciplinary collaboration. Zayan's career reflects a lifelong commitment to the promotion and development of cultural initiatives. In 2019, Zayan introduced La Salle A Manger, a private dining room dedicated to hosting intimate and sophisticated dinner gatherings for artists, supporters, donors, and more. This innovative addition reflects Zayan's commitment to creating a space that goes beyond traditional art venues, fostering connections and collaboration among diverse creative communities.
