...In her recent show, Janine Antoni brought together compulsive eating, art-making as compulsion, and the contemporary truism that we are, despite (or perhaps because of) an ostensibly image-saturated society, hopelessly out of touch with our bodies. Antoni began by fabricating two 600-pound cubes, one of lard and one chocolate. In the weeks leading up to the sow, she gnawed away at the cubes and spat out the lard a chocolate, which she then reused in sculptural by-products. The lard served as a base for her own brand of bright-red lipstick, and the chocolate was recast into vacuum-formed packaging of the sort used in boxes of chocolates. The lipstick and packaging were then displayed in mirror-backed vitrines lining a small room at the rear of the gallery; the original cubes (Antoni barely made a dent in the cubes) occupied the main exhibition space.____Louis E. Nesbitt, Janine, Artforum; Summer 1992.
