Artnet featured the first solo museum show from Delano Dunn, BFA Communications Design ’01—Novelties now at the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center in Vermont—and how the food of his family has impacted his collage work, with Dunn sharing a recipe for gumbo made during his residency at Arts and Public Life in Chicago: “When I started the residency, I had just had some gumbo and was thinking about how important it was to me. I thought, ‘I’ll make a couple of works about gumbo—it will take me out of my comfort zone, because I don’t normally make work about food.’”
