curatorial statement from catherine vanaria

Some days an idea hits you that seems so simple. That’s how this project started for me and then grew.

For a number of years, Chinese food was a regular staple of my diet for lunch while at work and now continues for occasional weekend dinners. With each meal’s completion, the final treat is the pre-packaged fortune cookie included with it. While I savor the vanilla flavor and crunch from the cookie, I am surprised by the simple message printed on the fortune, which sometimes feels so true to that specific day and time in my life. I've saved each fortune and have either taped them to my computer screen or stacked them together by paperclip and kept them on my desk. I've felt that one of these days the fortunes could be used for something, but was never sure what…until.

On October 10th, 2023, my younger sister passed away. On October 11th, my daily routine changed from just regular to supersized with the additional responsibilities as her estate representative. On March 10th, 2024 at the Tampa Airport, while waiting for my flight home after her celebration of life event, the Chinese restaurant near my gate got my business. The food was ok, but what I really wanted was the fortune cookie for both the sweetness and its fortune.

That day, that fortune hit me both with hope and sadness. Here I was with a sense of optimism that things were looking up for me, after celebrating my sister's life, which ended too soon. It was the fortune I needed at that day and at that time. That fortune came home with me and was taped to my computer screen.

Now, fast forward to June of 2025. I had just retired from my teaching gig and was cleaning up my desk and hard drives from stuff collected during academia. While going through my desk drawer, I noticed the paperclip with its collection of fortunes. I took it out and spread them across my desk. I also removed all of the ones which had been taped to my computer screen and included those in the mix. Did any of these really affect my future?

Did any of these fortunes really come true? Was it just simple wishing and hoping that one of these would come true in my head?

Realizing I had been duped by this simple marketing tool used to sell more Chinese food, I decided to make these fortunes work for me. What if I used them as prompts to make artwork for myself? And so it began. While shuffling my photographs with the fortunes in my studio one Sunday in July, it occurred to me that this might be an interesting project if I included others, so in November the process of inviting friends, colleagues and artists began. Each person who agreed was given a pre-packaged fortune cookie with the following instructions:

Today, you have received your fortune cookie which includes a message inside. This message is your sole prompt. I am asking you to create a new piece of art that reinterprets, challenges, or literalizes the meaning of your fortune. The choice of medium is completely up to you.

I am very grateful to all who have taken up my challenge. What follows is each participant’s fortune and their artwork.

Bob Keating (Southbury, CT) These are the four elements that commonly are used in my sculpture making: gravity, steel, concrete and quartz stone, and sometimes other materials. I make sculpture that is by design in possession of the awareness of gravity. The sculptures are rooted in gravity and not any particular place or in other words they’re comfortable where there’s gravity. I use steel consistently. The way I bend it and form it is how I speak. Even if the steel is covered with concrete it is still holding hands with it. Concrete is a material with an ancient human past and when mixed up fresh it’s as new as I am alive. The fact that it hardens from a soft mud is amazingly decisive, and when I decide we decide together. Quartz is loaded with human associations from very early times. Quartz has a way of being energetically still and this characteristic I also find in myself. With quartz being a conduit I’m able to express human influences in conjunction with nature.

Paula Kubisek is a self-taught graphic designer of almost 30 years who loves making things that aren't on a screen. Currently living in Worcester, MA.

Martha Willette Lewis is currently based in New Haven, Connecticut. For this project, the fortune message itself was less interesting to me than the containers. The takeout pail is a design masterpiece and I love anything that folds and flattens. To Go: (Year of The Fire Horse & The Wheel) is a rubbing of the packaging picked out with oyster shell paint and watercolor. I kept coming back to the fact that it doesn’t matter what our individual fortunes are–we are all caught up into the fate that is the Anthropocene and that this year is driven by the fire-horse (Chinese zodiac) and the wheel (western tarot) in ways that are inescapable.... The artwork became a kind of burning map/compass/mandala of disposable waste. IG: @marthawillettelewis
