The all-encompassing theme of this curation is the concept of sacrifice for the pursuit of art in connection to the theme of fruit in art history, in reality, and in aesthetic. Fruit is a source of health and vitality that is not always accessible to all and is considered precious to many cultures. Artists often struggle to maintain their health; a friend of mine is eating peanut butter for dinner most days as she studies to become a film maker. the term ‘starving artist’ is in existence because of this tragedy of consumerism taking away from the non-lucrative nature of the pursuit of art. As an actor, my body is my instrument, so it is of utmost importance to maintain my health, as it is to dancers and performers in general.
One of the artists included in this curation, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, is relevant to the piece because as a young artist he would pick fruit in the summertime in order to make ends meet, and now is featured in the MoMA, many of his works being depictions of the fruit he once picked. This curation is a celebration of commitment and passion for the arts, but is also a critique on the sacrifice artists have to make because of the rejection of art as it pertains to the capitalist and thus consumerist way of life that has been adopted in our modern world.
