Today or Tomorrow at Atelier 8.18: A Home Studio Exhibition

Artists Emiko Mizukami, Julie Sabey, Lena Sin, and Nicole Lau present 'Today or Tomorrow,' a home studio exhibition at Atelier 8.18, the living room of curator Kyla Bourgh. The show explores food's connection to culture, memory, and community through each artist's personal lens—from Sin's joyful table settings inspired by travels to Mizukami's fantasy narratives around Japanese preservation traditions, Sabey's childhood birthday party memories, and Lau's transformation of prepackaged foods into colorful artworks.

The exhibition matters because it offers an intimate alternative to traditional gallery spaces, inviting visitors to experience art in a relaxed, domestic setting that encourages slow looking and conversation. By centering food as a universal yet deeply personal subject, the show highlights how diverse cultural backgrounds shape artistic expression and how everyday objects can carry profound meaning.
