Bread Face Will Press Her Face Into Bread at Seattle Art Fair | Eater Seattle

"At this weekend's Seattle Art Fair, I'm seeing an interactive installation called Self Facing by social media star Bread Face (who has nearly 200,000 Instagram followers for videos of her smashing her face into bread). Attendees are encouraged to play with the bread however they'd like, and the altered baked goods—made by Bread Face and her mom—will be part of the display; showtimes for Self Facing are at CenturyLink Field Event Center. The exhibition, according to the press release, touches on themes ongoing in her evolving oeuvre including somatic materials, domesticity and voyeurism, and Bread Face is being billed as the star of the Seattle show—a notable distinction in a city that often prefers its gluten-free options. Her work divides opinion: some find it ASMR-inducing, others dismiss it as a silly stunt, though it has been lucrative (she once had a jewelry sponsor and was featured in AdWeek)." - Gabe Guarente

Launched in 2015 and rapidly gaining national acclaim, the Seattle Art Fair brings together leading local, national, and international galleries for a multi-day celebration of contemporary art. Artforum and The Seattle Times praise its blend of blue-chip galleries and Pacific Northwest talent, as well as its special installations and talks. The fair’s commitment to showcasing Seattle’s creative ecosystem alongside global trends makes it an unmissable event for art lovers.
