The Polygon Gallery

The Polygon is one of Canada’s most acclaimed photography and media art galleries. The Gallery moved into its Governor General’s Medal winning building in 2017 after operating as Presentation House Gallery for 40 years. The organization has presented more than 300 exhibitions, and earned a reputation as one of Canada’s most adventurous public art institutions.

The Exhibition

Cindy Sherman, JR, Nan Goldin, Wolfgang Tillmans, Andy Warhol, and 60 more of the world’s leading artists tell the history of photography through the enticing lens of food. Feast brings together a delicious assortment of over 100 images from photojournalism to fashion photography, from rare cookbooks to advertising.
