Have you eaten today?

Though the phrase Bap meogeosseoyo? (밥 먹었어요?) directly translates to “Have you eaten?”, it is a common greeting in Korean—an everyday way of asking how someone is doing. Bap, meaning rice or a meal, frequently appears in Korean expressions, reflecting the cultural emphasis on nourishment as a foundation of being. The phrase is also deeply Korean in its politeness: its mundane and specific nature respects the boundaries of privacy while inviting a range of responses. Making use of this as a title, Have you eaten today? draws our attention to eating as one of the most fundamental acts of care, and an intimate form of relating to the world. Set in a 1929 Spanish colonial residence, this inaugural show at Francis Gallery’s third location presents works by eight artists that depict the theme of sustenance in its most elemental form.
