But what\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ehappens after viewers carry food away in the intestinal networks activated by social practice art, the same way digestion turns food into a body? Exploring the emerging field of metabolic arts, \u003ci\u003eAfter Eating\u003c\/i\u003e claims digestion and metabolism as key cultural, creative, and political processes that demand attention. Taking an artist-centered approach to nutrition, Lindsay Kelley cultivates a neglected middle ground between the everyday and the scientific,\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eusing metabolism as a lens through which to read and write about art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDivided into two parts and full of playful chapter titles such as “Food Babies” and “Poop Circus,” \u003ci\u003eAfter Eating\u003c\/i\u003e investigates multiple facets of the sociocultural implications of body image and body process in body art from the 1970s to the present. By engaging the notion of “after” as an artistic homage or tribute, metabolism moves beyond the cell to transform into a method for responding to the most difficult cultural, philosophical, and political challenges of the contemporary moment. Metabolic reading rethinks feminist, queer, bioart, installation, and performance projects, providing artists, students, and teachers with new pathways into art theory.Series Foreword ix\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments xi\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: A Metabolic Reading of \u003ci\u003eMutaflor \u003c\/i\u003exv\u003cbr\u003eI Feminist Diets 1\u003cbr\u003e1 Stuff Change: Body Image to Body Process 7\u003cbr\u003e2 Food Babies 35\u003cbr\u003e3 Eggs, Kale, Cancer, Fertility 57\u003cbr\u003eII Giant Creatures 79\u003cbr\u003e4 Adenosine Triphosphate: Metaphors and Materials 85\u003cbr\u003e5 Poop Circus 107\u003cbr\u003e6 Holobionts Against Representation 139\u003cbr\u003eNotes 167\u003cbr\u003eIndex 215“Inhabiting Lindsay Kelley’s writing is always a nourishing affair, replete with metabolic surprises and sobering delights of a worldly kind. \u003ci\u003eAfter Eating\u003c\/i\u003e is a repast of playful and serious courses of past and current body art, bioart, and performance.
