Résumé:

"Instigated by IAIN BAXTER& and curated by Dr. Jaclyn Meloche, The Sandwich Project explored the relationships between place, history and identity vis-à-vis food in historical and contemporary art. Originally named Old Sandwich Town, Windsor remains rich in layers. Established in 1749 as a site for French and British settlement, host of the War of 1812 and later home for black settlement, a shoreline upon which thousands found refuge from slavery in the United States, Sandwich is one of the oldest and most historically significant neighborhoods in the province. Incorporated as a Town in 1858, Sandwich--where the first urban settlements in Windsor were recorded--has upheld a reputation for being a "blue collar" neighborhood beholden to a community immersed in manufacturing and government services. Similar in name to the popular food item--sandwich--Windsor remains rich in layers, albeit cultural, historical, economic and political. Coinciding with Canada's 150th anniversary, 2017 provided the ideal platformon which to consider how identities have been instigated and perpetuated in Southwestern Ontario. In six stand-alone exhibitions: Verner's Sandwich; BAXTER Snack; LUNCH; Food, Feminism and Kitchen Culture; and Food and Film, artists contemplated food as metaphor. Albeit through Verner's historical watercolours of Sandwich Town, BAXTER&'s performances with food, depictions of junk food, photographs and artifacts of 1950s lunch culture in the Windsor-Detroit corridor, the politics of the kitchen, or the ways in which cinematic activism challenges Canadian identity, each exhibition challenges the complex binaries between identity and place through the politics of food."-- Provided by publisher.
