Art Windsor-Essex respectfully acknowledges that we are located on Anishinaabe Territory – the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy of First Nations, comprised of the Ojibway, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi. Today the Anishinaabe of the Three Fires Confederacy are represented by Bkejwanong. We want to state our respect for the ancestral and ongoing authority of Walpole Island First Nation over its Territory.

LUNCH is an exhibition that embodies all things pop – pop culture, pop design, pop fashion and pop aesthetics. Showcasing nostalgic flashbacks to lunch in North American visual culture, collections of archival objects borrowed from The Henry Ford Museum and private collectors give viewers access into an era. From vintage and historical lunchboxes, dating back to 1885, black and white photographs of cafeterias, diners and hot dog stands, a mod-style Campbell’s Soup Can “Souper Dress” from the 1960’s to the installation of a diner table set for lunch in the context of a pop shop, the exhibition stages the ways in which food becomes a signifier for the commodification of culture.
