Participate in a discussion of Indian art and culinary history while exploring the exhibition Vishnu: Hinduism’s Blue-Skinned Savior with Maite Gomez-Rejón of ArtBites (www.artbites.net). Learn about Vishnu, his relationships with other Hindu gods, and the role of food in Indian religious festivals tracing back to antiquity. Then cook and enjoy a contemporary Indian meal fit for a deity!
Gomez-Rejón has a BFA from the University of Texas at Austin, an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and a Grande Diplome from the French Culinary Institute in New York City. Since 1995 she has worked in the education departments of such renowned museums as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum of Art, LACMA, and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles and has also worked as a private chef and caterer. In 2008 she founded ArtBites, a program combining art and culinary history with hands-on cooking courses, which she has taught at the J. Paul Getty Museum’s Villa and Center sites, the Huntington Library Art Collections and Botanical Gardens, LACMA and Norton Simon Museum in Los Angeles, and the 92nd Street Y and Isamu Noguchi Museum in New York City.
