Has consumer culture completely subsumed Americans' lives? Can this consumption sustain us in any lasting way, or is it the empty cycle of binge and purge that the rest of the world often assumes it to be? We really do love to binge eat, binge drink, binge on sex and pornography, binge on cars and vacations, shop for religion, shop for happiness and a sense of belonging.
Five young artists grapple with these ideas in "Eat Me," an exhibition that explores ideas of consumption utilizing a variety of materials.The result is a visual feast that examines advertising, sex, food and politics.
