MoAD PICKS...OUTSIDE THE MUSEUM
	Free Chocolate by April Banks December 6, 2006 - February 17, 2007 In her first solo exhibition, Bay Area conceptual artist April Banks examines the intricate global economy that is driven by the constantly growing demand for cocoa. Based on years of research and travel to cacao farms in Ghana and Cuba and to the New York Board of Trade, Banks explores cocoa's global journey from farmer, to trader, to chocolate lover. More>
