This is an installation shot of Jason Hirata’s solo exhibition at the Henry Art Gallery right now. JG
Part of the pleasure of looking at art is learning by looking where it’s pointing. (This does not constitute me saying that art that does not point is not pleasurable or its own sort of learning.)
Through Jason Hirata’s work at the Henry this month, an installation about food and business cultures (about which I plan to write more later), I came to know about the famine food Plumpy’Nut.
Plumpy’Nut is a super peanut butter made in a place where people are not hungry for people who are hungry elsewhere. One French company, Nutriset, has sole rights to make it and profit from selling it through aid channels. That’s Plumpy’Nut.
