Join us for a Unique Culinary and Art Experience

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT:

Consumerism has taught us to crave everything all at once, and in that insatiable hunger, we are never fully satisfied by what we consume.

GARBAGE PERSON, the latest exhibition at Alchemy's Gallery C3, embraces "trash" as both subject and material, dumpster diving into staples of Americana that are both rejected and revered. Sacred and profane comforts such as reality tv, tabloids, and fast food are a spectacular addiction. Pulling ourselves away from them would be like amputating a limb—even if it saved our lives, we would be forever haunted by the phantom pain.

This show is curated by Taylor Lee Nicholson, who self-identifies as a “garbage person” because of her steady lifelong diet of hot dogs, true crime documentaries, and pulp fiction. The artists in this show share a taste in both kitsch and the absurd, bringing whimsy to a somewhat bleak premise.

Exhibit runs May 6th - July 31st

Make a dinner reservation at Alchemy and peruse the gallery before or after your meal. Diners can elevate their experience by dining near the gallery observation window to people watch.

Choose the “Experience” in Open Table reserve a table in the Gathering Common with chillin vibes by DJ Be With Us spinning tunes for the evening.
