UNFINISHED BUSINESS:

Hillary Clinton once famously said that “ . . . the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st century.”

FARM TO TABLE

Newport Art Museum from the Permanent collection
July 15, 2023 - January 21, 2024

This exhibition features permanent collection works from the 17th century to the present that emphasize our close connection to food. Here, artists look at the ways we produce and consume food, even the gendered associations tied to cooking and domesticity. Through these artworks, viewers can sample a taste of the environmental and social ingredients that go into (and beyond) what we put on the table.

Featured Artists: Richard Benson, Herbert Cyrus Farnum, Donna Ferrato, Lucas Foglia, Leslie M. W. Graff, Nancy Grace Horton, Alen MacWeeney, Abraham Mignon, Neal Rantoul, and Meredith Stern.

Nancy Grace Horton

Nancy Grace Horton is a photography-based artist embracing both analog and digital techniques to create narratives around gender and identity. Her series Ms. Behavior, Mad Women, Mr.Mrs., and Being 13 utilize constructed gender roles as inspiration to provoke thoughtful reflection and stimulate dialogue. Humorous, ironic, and biting, her images distill the angst of both feminism and the Playboy era. Delving deep into her practice, Horton is currently utilizing projections, audio conversations, and installation to create immersive experiences—an exciting new direction in her practice.
