Artist's statement: A Little Taste of ChemistryMiyuki Nakahara has recycled tins that once contained the notorious food additive MSG. As a child in post-war Japan, Nakahara was not only told that MSG was "good for you," but that she would "get clever" if she ate a lot of it. Once considered essential to the rapid preparation of good food (especially Asian food), MSG was fast, handy, healthy. There is no need to waste time preparing stock., MSG can simply be sprinkled onto the dish. In remembrance of these qualities, Nakahara has repousseed images of MSG's outstanding characteristics onto the tins. MSG is now considered a serious health risk. Miyuki Nakahara May 1999 |
