“Dinner is dead. Long live new beginnings. Long live the ‘soft reset.’ Long live the revolutionary spirit. Long live optimism. Long live the chickenless egg.”
Anatomy/Gift/Association was pleased to host an exceptional evening organized by guest curator Poy Born for “the elevation of breakfast, the meal of farthest chronological remove from dinner, by foregrounding it both conceptually and culinary, and a simultaneous and corresponding lowering of dinner.”

Jeff Austin (b.1988) is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Chicago, IL. Ironic but richly aesthetic, Mr. Austin’s work is wrought with subtle juxtapositions of diverse content that contend with a culture in crisis while maintaining the language of the shamanistic and mystical. The play with light, the frozen moment and the considered exploration of material seek order, pattern and purpose in the moment where all those qualities are illusive or absent. Mr. Austin’s work often employs a simple, elegant gesture to bring to light a transcendental quality at work even in a society in turmoil. Mr. Austin attends The School of The Art Institute of Chicago, and was a 2012 ACRE resident.
