The Modern presents Julie Bozzi’s American Food, 1980–92, acquired by the Museum for the permanent collection in 2019. Bozzi’s sculptural installation consists of an oak cabinet with 13 drawers, 12 of which contain miniature reproductions of American food products, each carefully handmade by the artist and displayed under glass, like scientific specimens from a natural history museum. The food items are categorized into distinct genres, including cereals, snack cakes, and breakfast meats, which are indexed in the 13th drawer.

If I look to these specific works and see what’s happening, I think it relates easily to the United States because there is contentious politics, war, different kinds of public executions, and tragedies caused by natural disasters. We share history, and we share problems as well. And we are all human in the end. Hrair Sarkissian, “Making History: Hrair Sarkissian and Omar Kholeif in Conversation,” for FOCUS: Hrair Sarkissian
