The seventeenth edition of a popular annual exhibition showcasing artwork made from or inspired by PEEPS® Brand marshmallow candy.
Whether using the candy as a material or paying homage to it through representation, this exhibition brings together artists of all ages. For the first time, RAM PEEPS® Brand Art Exhibition will be held in one of RAM’s first-floor permanent gallery spaces, bringing this fan-favorite exhibition to a larger space that better shows off masterPEEPS® from the community. Additionally, RAM will unveil a custom PEEPS®-inspired installation created by Chicago-based Andrea Jablonski to set the mood for this joy-filled exhibition.
Chicago-based multidisciplinary artist Andrea Jablonski presents Enjoy the PEEPS® Show, a playful and irreverent body of work that reimagines iconic sculptures through the unmistakable form of the PEEPS® Brand Bunny shape. Drawing from art history, public monuments, and personal memory, Jablonski transforms well-known masterpieces into approachable, humorous objects.
By filtering celebrated works through a candy-colored lens, Jablonski’s reinterpretations pay homage to artists such as Alexander Calder, Pablo Picasso, Louise Bourgeois, Jeff Koons, and the anonymous creator of the Venus de Milo, while also reflecting her own background as a muralist, fabricator, and public artist.
