About SUPERSIZE: Bigger Is Better?
What fuels our fascination with obscene quantities and obsessive amounts?  From supersized to overstuffed, from bulk to buy-one-get-one, we are in a constant quest for more, yet we decry the after-effects of over-consumption. SUPERSIZEexplores the art of the supersized; art that tackles the absurdity of life on a grand scale.  Many of these outrageous works will make you smile and laugh out loud, but take time to explore the entire exhibit – both indoors and outside - and to read the artist statements. Taken as a whole, the diverse works included in SUPERSIZE contain important messages about our relationships with our stuff, and how we consume the Earth’s resources. This complex and entertaining exhibit is a celebration and critical commentary, full of beauty, humor, and some really big stuff.
