The Midterm project “Mediocrity” presents my regular daily diets routine, as a person who eats simple and barely cooks. Inspired by Andy Warhol, this calendar based composition of foods reflects my personal way of a simple living. The thirty-day diets exhibition will contain elements reflecting the company I work for, the fine arts major I’m taking in school, as well as a mixed-cultured diet rooted from Chinese identity in New York.
A brand new silkscreen will be used as the serving tray. A hand-drawn calendar is placed below so that when viewers take away the food, a date will be showing through. This thirty-day diet contains processed foods from the places where I eat often. Chinese Ginseng Tea will be served in four miniature wooden containers, while some others will be served in two miniature shopping carts which represent the shopping dates during a month.
All thirty days of foods will be at a tiny amount just for the purpose of presenting, which are designed to be consumed during critique. The designed presentation will be a free conversation after my short introduction, raise questions while tasting the foods. Topic related gifts will be given to instructors and students who are interested in trying.
Challenge of this project will be the layout of this many materials, together in a way that they are not too distinct from each other. I decided to buy the foods with basic colors such as white green and red to create a unified canvas, while the calendar down the bottom will be simplified as single color grids so that it doesn't distract the subject matters.
