“Dining with Rolando Briseño: A 50-Year Retrospective” is the first retrospective devoted to the Mexican American artist, Chicano activist, and culinary historian, now 72.
The exhibition features pieces from his life’s work, dating from 1966 to present day. Briseño addresses how food from the Americas enabled the rest of the world to have adequate nutrition and national cuisines. His “Tablescape” series explores how, in the U.S., technology has invaded the dinner table, in the form of televisions, cell phones, computers, and remote controls.
Included in the exhibition are more than 75 drawings, lithographs, paintings, photographs, public artworks, and pieces that survived a devastating home and studio fire.
The exhibition will remain on display through February 9, 2025.
