IN POOR TASTE: The Genetically Modified Foods Kitchen

June 4, 2016 to July 16, 2016

Created by Christine Chin, The Genetically Modified Foods Kitchen explored the controversial technology that allows us to transfer genes between species. Part human and part vegetable, Chin’s Vegetable Human Hybrids made visible the usually invisible process of genetic modification.  In the familiar context of a cookbook and a cooking show, these creations brought concerns about the ethics and politics of biotechnology into the domestic space. Playing with both humor and the grotesque, Chin’s photographs encouraged people to consider how technology affects our society and our dinner plates.
