This year's edition of FoodCon, just about the most whimsical, free-thinking meditation on all things food this side of El Bulli, features exhibits relating in some manner to the “food cycle,” which for the purposes of the event refers to the process leading from birth to growth to maturity to death, and back again. We've still got the taste of mashed potato popsicles in our mouth from last year's FoodCon, which was structured around the concept of food biomes and featured work by Michelle Walkey-Thornburg (those disgusting popsicles, with flavors including cheeseburger and salmon), Ryan Collier (photos of foodscapes) and Leah Gauthier (preserved food to represent the tundra biome).
