Remember: Don't taste art

Thom Smith

       Some visitors to Northwood University's "Chocolate Covered World" exhibition by the Persian-born artist Reza, now of Singer Island, are a bit too literal. Reza's big on food: Chocolate Cherry Cake, Reese's and M&Ms are titles of his paintings that look good enough to eat.

       As do Reza's sculptures. One gallery visitor left bite marks in a plaster Ores. Another sampled a tablet from Reza's rendition of Ex-Lax (must have been the binding agent in the Ores), but quickly spat it into a napkin that he tossed into a trash can. Reza retrieved the tablet, damaged but not ruined, and returned it to its proper place.
The exhibition ends April 23.
