Tomato Fight

The large-scale photograph, "Field", documents the aftermath of a staged 2005 tomato fight. Video of that fight accompanies the photograph.

On Sunday October 1 on a grassy field on the UIC campus. Jeanne Dunning staged "Tomato Fight", a public event in which a cast of volunteer participants threw massive numbers of tomatoes at one another until every last tomato found its target.

Jeanne Dunning is an internationally recognized, Chicago-based artist.   Her work was most recently seen in a mid-career retrospective at the Chicago Cultural Center, organized and presented by the Berkeley Art Museum.

Gallery 400 thanks Hirzel Canning Co. & Farms for a generous in-kind donation of Dei Fratelli Canned Whole Tomatoes.
