For those of you who think hors d'oeuvres are the highlight of the average art exhibit, Scion presents a showcase where appetizers are the art. Palate features a plethora of mouth-wateringly inedible pieces from a wide array of artists, including Scott Hove and his fearsome — yet fluffy — Cakeland exhibition. Also on the menu: James Reynolds' photos of death row inmates' last meals, Jeff Vespa's huge Polaroids of fast-food burgers, Jeph Gurecka's installation made out of his own homemade bread, and even a vintage exhibit from the Candy Wrapper Museum.
