A brand new artist-run exhibition space called The Hand, located at 601 Wilson Avenue between Covert Street and Schaefer Street near Father Knows Best and Routine Brooklyn off of the Wilson Avenue stop on the L train,  hosts its inaugural show this Friday, August 19, from 6-9 p.m., presenting a show that riffs on the notion of the offering traditionally associated with a welcoming event: food.

The show, “Finger Food” is an eclectic, curated exhibition meditating on how the simple, necessary act of eating has taken on manifold layers of significance, “from the most minuscule daily rituals to the socio-economic policies that shape our world,” Maren Miller, a co-owner of The Hand, elaborates in an email to Bushwick Daily.

“Finger Food” is also a dissection of how the idea of food seeps its way into our psyche. “Which came first, the hunger or the Philly Cheese Steak?”, inquires the curator’s statement about the show. The show, which runs through Sunday September 4, fully intends to satiate the senses.
