Table Manners
2023
“Dining etiquette stretches back centuries and table manners define the meaning of a meal. Eating is a physical need, but meals are a social ritual...The presence of food and the dining table has been an ever present subject of the visual arts. Over the last century, art and design movements have looked to challenge social expectations and in turn question our relationship to food... This anthology draws together a selection of texts, definitions, essays and artwork to chronologically identify the social and cultural change in attitudes towards food and dining etiquette standards.”
