The exhibition will feature food designer Tender Blender's video game called Crafty Critters Munch-Up that takes inspiration from the museum's permanent collection. Through consumption of the art critters, the player is aided in his digestion of modern art concepts that form the Ateneo Art Gallery collection. The Ateneo Art Gallery has also collaborated with artist Lena Cobangbang, known for her landscapes and tableaus created from food matter, to bring together the visual and culinary arts through a food project inspired by pieces from the museum’s permanent collection.
