Glenna Jennings: Sit Down!

Sit Down! presents new works by Glenna Jennings with, around, and about food. The tables of Jennings’ youth were compact, plastic, and single-serve, meant to be folded and put away, then reassembled in time for dinner and prime time television. The family table came with a leaf to fit guests during holiday feasts, but Jennings and her single, working mom more often operated within an archive of frozen dinners. 

The ongoing photographic series, At Table, arose from a desire to add people to these tables and cultivate relationships across cultures and borders. Sit Down! uses images and artifacts made for At Table to create an immersive culinary experience that moves beyond the photographs. The Blue House invites viewers to “sit down” and enjoy local delicacies with conversation around history, memory, and food justice.
