Yucky Yum Yum
Do you find joy eating food in fake rainbow colours, even though it might be bad for you? Do you like watching videos of objects being squished, or even people popping pimples? Even if you answered ‘no’ to all the above, you would know that some things can be both delicious and disgusting at the same time. Or they can be funny and sad. Sometimes we actually desire things because they are scary or dangerous.
The artists in this exhibition have made works that you might find both yucky and yum. Hopefully, the art sparks your senses. It may ignite your emotions and memories too. Many of the works in this exhibition are connected by themes around food, nature and the ‘unnatural’, disgust and taboo.
These themes have complex and challenging histories, presents and futures. The artists don’t shy away from tough subjects, but their works are also filled with fun and irreverence.
Yucky Yum Yum will be packed with new, artist-designed activities to keep you entertained and engaged over the long summer months. Just don’t eat ice-cream off the pavement.
