Exhibit: "Sugar, Sugar"
Virtually unknown in Europe until the Middle Ages, sugar quickly became ubiquitous in Western diets. Influencing agricultural practices, global economies, dietary habits and language, sugar holds a central place in Western culture. Presented in the I.D.E.A. Space from November 23, 2009 – January 21, 2010, "Sugar, Sugar," explores the power of the sweet stuff from a variety of perspectives. The exhibition features historical photographs of the sugar beet industry in Colorado, microscopic enlargements of
sugar molecules and literary and artistic responses in a variety of media. Visual artists include Gypsy Ames, Julia M. Becker, Karen Kunc, Kate Leonard, Tracy Linder, Christina Marsh and Meredith Nickie. Writers include Jessy Randall and Dave Mason.
Sponsored by the Robert and Ruby Priddy Charitable Trust.
