\"\"<\/a>The Intersection Between Dining and Photography<\/h1>\n

January 18 \u2013 February 9, 2025<\/h4>\n

Link to The Intersection Between Dining and Photography page<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This small exhibition has been curated in synergy with the opening of the Center for Photography Woodstock in Kingston on January 18, 2025. The close proximity of IMoDD, the Holocenter, and the CPW create a \u201cMuseum Row\u201d concept, linking kindred spirits in terms of exhibitions, educational programming and the celebration of the arts in Midtown Kingston New York.<\/h6>\n

This exhibit looks at photography as it relates to dinnerware and dining. Three approaches are explored through objects in the IMoDD collection. First, photography as social commentary on popular culture is seen in Sandy Skoglund\u2019s The Cocktail Party<\/em>, a large-scale photograph created from the artist\u2019s installation of human figures and inanimate living room furnishings covered with Cheez Doodles. In addition, work by Fornasetti, Mapplethorpe and Cindy Sherman alter both the traditional presentation of images by applying them to dinnerware, and the functionality of the dinnerware through the application of images. And finally photographic methods that physically alter the ceramic or glass structure of the dinnerware to create images through the interplay of light with the material using lithophanes or photosensitive glass.<\/p>\n

Playful Dining<\/h1>\n

An on-line exhibition originally scheduled to open April 30, 2024 but delayed until June 30 due to IMoDD\u2019s relocation.<\/h4>\n

The exhibition is mostly about toy dish sets (some in their original boxes!) enjoyed by children of bygone eras, but adults had their own playful dining accessories that are included in this exhibition.<\/p>\n
