Is taste innately subjective? Or is it subject to our relational, cultural experiences? The fallacy of this dichotomy is well-recognized, yet the question continues to reappear throughout human thought. 

Join us in floundering at the strange “intra-action” of epigenetics, evolutionary aesthetics, agential realism and — wait for it — Dr. Seuss. We'll gather in Chelsea, one of New York's "taste" hotspots, to explore the ways that taste can be transmitted between people, places, and things.
