Normal drinks and our daily bread
Jani Leinonen’s works are currently on display at the Lappeenranta Art Museum in an exhibition titled “Normal Drinks and Our Daily Bread,” which showcases the depiction of food and drink in Finnish visual arts from the 19th century to the present day. The exhibition illustrates various aspects of food and drink in Finnish visual arts, including the acquisition and production of ingredients such as agriculture, hunting, and fishing, as well as the portrayal of food and drink in still lifes. It also covers themes such as restaurants, cafés, culinary cultures, food trends, and ethical issues related to food and drink as depicted in Finnish visual arts. The exhibition features works from the museum’s collection, as well as loans from other museums and artists. The exhibition is curated by Mikko Pirinen and will run from June 1 to September 1, 2024.
