Banquet: A Fest for the Senses is an intriguing exhibit organized by Pasadena's Pacific Asia Museum, in which young artists from the U.S. and Asia interpret food within the context of society, family, gender and religion. A wide varierty of media and approaches -- some rather quirky. Favorite: Kohei Nawa's Swarovski-esque sushis. [LAT article]photo Shiraishi Contemporary Art via LAT
