DESCRIPTION:ROOT DIVISION PRESENTS: Second Saturday April\n\nTASTE 2008 
 Exhibition\nCurated by Sarah Klein\nOpening Reception: Saturday, April 
 12th, 7–10 p.m.\n\n\nSAN FRANCISCO, CA – Bite, chew, smell and savor as 
 artists explore the meaning of food! Familiar foods like frosted cookies, 
 sundaes and popsicles will go beyond their usual sugar coma to express 
 desire, sex, domestic comforts, and other themes in the TASTE 2008 
 Exhibition at Root Division in April.\n\nThe 18 artists in the exhibition 
 use the subject matter of food and many different mediums, both edible and 
 not, to express the palatable, playful, and political. These artists ask us 
 to pay attention to the food we eat and where it comes from, how we consume 
 food as a culture, and the fantasies or desires associated with 
 food.\n\nSarah Klein, in addition to being a curator, makes hand-drawn 
 stop-motion animated and live-action videos, teaches cooking classes, and 
 created a performance art series called the Bread Project. Her new work 
 recently screened at the San Francisco Bay Area Children's Festival and the 
 Exploratorium.\n\nArtists include:\nRyan Alexiev\nBeth Alice

 and arts education non-profit located in the Mission District of San 
 Francisco. Root Division acts as an ecosystem for artists in that we 
 provide subsidized studio space to working artists in exchange for their 
 service in the organization. While creating opportunities for individuals 
 to develop both creatively & professionally, Root Division promotes 
 creative expression and builds community through having these artists teach 
 art in after school programs, lead adult education classes, and produce 
 special events that showcase local emerging artists. It is in these 
 connections between artistic exploration and public engagement that we 
 spark the powerful synergy between personal inspiration and social change. 
 Root Division is supported in part by grants from the San Francisco 
 Foundation, the Walter & Elise Haas Sr Fund, and Grants for the Arts: 
 Voluntary Arts Contribution Fund. The Second Saturday Exhibition Series is 
 sponsored by the Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation and the Zellerbach Family 
 Foundation.\nFor further information regarding events and/or press
