Project EATS would like to extend a huge thank you

Project EATS would like to extend a huge thank you to guest editor @hankwillisthomas and @artnews For shouting us out in their “Deciders” issue of ARTnews!!!
.
See the entire section below on our esteemed President Linda Goode Bryant & Project EATS written by @alexgreenberger
🌻🐝🌻
.
.
Linda Goode Bryant—who several decades earlier founded the legendary New York gallery Just Above Midtown—got to thinking in 2008 about a food crisis that impacts the whole world. She didn’t know much about how to grow food herself, but she knew she wanted to get involved. The result was Project EATS, a New York–based organization devoted to distributing edible resources in underserved neighborhoods.
🌷🥬🌷
.
.
Working within a tradition more closely associated with activist groups, Project EATS has in the past year brought food to residents in the predominantly Black Brooklyn neighborhood of Brownsville and the largely Latinx Belmont district in the Bronx. The project’s offerings tend not to look like art, though they have periodically been exhibited as such. In his “Social Works” show at Gagosian gallery earlier this year, Antwaun Sargent included an installation by Bryant titled Are we really that different? (2021), featuring a line of herbs and vegetables along with IV tubes bringing nutrients to them. Visitors were invited to pick from the plants and take the food home with them. In an essay accompanying the show, Sargent placed the works in a lineage that includes Rick Lowe, Lauren Halsey, Noah Davis, and other artists who “provide badly needed material goods in their local communities.”

Dear Project EATS Community,
.
This has been another challenging year for all of us, but especially those that Project EATS serves. We want to thank you for your continued support.
🌻🐝🌻
.
.
This past year our Covid 19 Healthy Food Initiative was a godsend for our neighbors in need in the three communities where we are currently located---Brownsville in Brooklyn, the Lower East Side in Manhattan and Belmont in the Bronx. The program has significantly grown to feed over 800 people each week with fresh organic produce and shelf stable groceries. Although great strides have been made in combatting the pandemic, those most vulnerable in these communities are still struggling and living on the edge.
🌷🥬🌷
.
.
For 12 years Project EATS has helped people live healthier lives and thrive. But we can only do this with your continued support. This Giving Tuesday we want to especially tip our hats to our monthly donors, as these gifts aid us consistently through the entire year. And this makes a big impact!
🌻❤️🌻

Giving many thanks and praise this morning to @lindagoodebryant and @freedomcannotbesimulated aka Rirkrit Tiravanija, two of the progenitors/inspirations for Wide Awakes Mobil Soup Kitchen. Any artist who regularly sets up an urban farm or soup kitchen or restaurant as part of an artistic process is alright with us!!

.
Last Week @wideawakes_msk spent the day @projecteats Randall’s Island Farm which is over 2 acres. Rirkrit and Linda brought their students from @columbiamfavisualarts to the farm so that the students could think about the differs forms an artistic practice can take.
💜👁💜
.
.
Linda posed the question, “Is an object/thing an art object or artistic practice just because an artist says it is?” The students were instructed to think about this while they picked the last of the summer’s tomatoes and removed the tomato plants from the @projecteats tunnels to make room for the winter crops!!

Project Eats is very excited to share an article form the Sunday @nytimes written by #HollandCotter titled “Counting New Art Blessings Amid the Uncertainty” featuring our founder @LindaGoodeBryant ~ Link in bio.
🌷🥬🌷
.

Excerpt from the article:
.
“Among Black migrants heading north in the 70s were contemporary artists who found no place to land in an overwhelming white New York art world until a young dealer, Linda Goode Bryant, created a welcoming gallery and helped change the country’s cultural landscape with her Just Above Midtown gallery in Manhattan.
.
Bryant is still hard at work. I’m eager to see what she’ll do in “RAW Académie Session 9: Infrastructure,” a project she’ll be directing at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, beginning in February 2022. RAW Material Company, based in Dakar, Senegal, is one of Africa’s leading experimental art spaces. For the project, RAW’s Dakar staff will temporarily join Bryant and an international roster of curators and artists in Philadelphia to brainstorm on how museums can become more useful to artists and audiences alike in a world in flux.”
