​Gotham Chelsea presents Snacks and the City, a solo exhibition by Elizabeth Saloka featuring 70 hand-painted rock sculptures that explore our relationship to food as both conditioned consumers and emotionally complex individuals. On view from March 19 through May 3, the exhibition marks Saloka’s largest exhibition to date.

​Saloka’s practice begins with careful selection of rocks or rubble, observing shape, scale, and surface before determining what it is “supposed to be”. The works function as artifacts of consumption, reflecting the Pavlovian dimensions of what we eat and crave and how we self-soothe.
