Early life experiences structure our eating habits later on. Beginning with the instinctual search for mother’s milk, through fishing and gathering all the way up to predation, the search for nourishment necessary to survival has always been foremost among our concerns as human beings. Craving, appetite, need, desire and want; what might these words mean if applied to artmaking? Where does their voracity come from? Is there a creative drive that stems from the same place as hunger and deprivation? Much as the farmer sows, cultivates and harvests, or raises livestock destined to nourish, artists also sow, cultivate, raise and sublimate feelings that nourish both the mind and the collective imagination.

These viscéraux are born artists. Creatively engaged in a perpetual redefinition of the everyday, they create art out of life itself. Thirty artists’ works are presented in the research and exploration laboratory that is ORANGE, twenty in the exhibition section and ten in the performance art residency. The hunger of the world is voracious… and art is visceral.
