About
This year our Milan presentation centers around the new Food Non Food department under the title EAT SHIT.

It is a confronting headline that embraces all the various themes the exhibition explores.  It is about what we eat, what we produce, but is also an expletive that captures the passion of protest.  We look at secretion as a technique, disposal as a necessity and contemporary agriculture as a challenge.

Presentation
We are transferring the entire Food Non Food department – 16 students plus their teachers – on site to Milan.  There they will continue their schooling in front of an audience in an authentic exploration of the relationship between education and exhibition.

And although Food Non Food is a new department, most of its core concerns have been a part of the DAE DNA for years.  So we will also present a select group of alumni from the past four years whose projects connect to the theme.

This will be an important exhibition because it communicates the breadth of the topic of food and works as a sort of public laboratory for the department.
