*Immaculate Conception is now showing at Black Walls Gallery:
For centuries, the eggplant has occupied a strange place in history. In medieval Europe, it was known as the “Mad Apple,” with some believing it could induce insanity because of its relation to the nightshade family. Once surrounded by superstition and cultural prejudice, it eventually became a staple of Mediterranean cuisine and a recurring symbol in folklore, medicine, and ritual.
Today, the eggplant has taken on yet another identity. Thanks to the internet, a fruit once feared has become one of the world’s most recognizable emojis—a symbol that has drifted far beyond food into humor, innuendo, and popular culture.
Immaculate Conception invites each participating artist to respond to this unlikely subject in their own way. The resulting works move between the sacred and the absurd, history and contemporary culture, with references ranging from folklore and religion—including Eggplant Jesus—to satire, identity, and personal narrative. United by a single prompt, the exhibition reveals how one ordinary object can produce an extraordinary range of ideas.
