Natasha Wheat is an internationally exhibiting interdisciplinary, socially engaged artist who lives and works in the United States [1].
Her works have been described as[2] attempting to understand and interrupt the ways in which human beings exist together, often using "food to transform her audience into co-participants in the work"[3]
In her exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, entitled Self Contained, Wheat constructed a temporary restaurant within the exhibition space of the Museum, and collaborated with chefs each day to create conceptual meals that included the tastes of Salty, Sour, Bitter, Numbing and Sweet. She produced an artists book for this exhibition that people were able to read while they were visiting to the space. Visitors could also sit on sculptural seating made from orange crates and agricultural waste.
Wheat is a graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and has been interviewed by The Examiner, Art Practical[4], Bad at Sports[5], The Oregonian[6], and a number of other online periodicals[7].
She is the founder of Portland, Oregon based arts and urban farming project, Project Grow [8].
