PALM BEACH FLORIDA WEEKLY www.FloridaWeekly.com WEEK OF DECEMBER 20-26, 2018 ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT B11 EXHIBITION From page 1 ing it,” Ms. Johanson says, “But, at the same time, many artists are creating work that comments on the negative aspects of it.” Jonathon Rosen does both. “We’re losing who we are,” the New York-based art- ist says. “We create a curated version of ourselves.” Most of us would probably admit that we are, perhaps, not quite as happy, busy, popular, adventurous, talented and/or or- ganized as our digital profiles would indi- cate. Unfortunately, as Mr. Rosen points out in his work, the deception is not al- ways so benign. “The internet perpetuates the inevi- tability of everyone leading a double life, through one filter or another,” he says. Mr. Rosen, who is best known for com- bining collage and digital technology, cre- ated seven light boxes – all of them topping out at 6 feet and measuring 4 feet across – that are installed in a second-floor gal- lery at the museum.

THE DISH: Highlights from local menus

The Dish: Tomato Bisque and Margherita Pizza The Place: Yard House, Downtown at the Gardens, 11701 Lake Victoria Gardens Ave., Palm Beach Gardens. Phone 561-691-6901; www.yard house.com The Price: $9.95 as lunch combo The Details: Either one of these dishes is a meal on its own. Make it a combo and you have the tastiest of the two worlds. The tomato bisque is velvety; creamy with full tomato flavor and a touch of basil, with a fried basil leaf on top. I like mine with a grind of black pepper. Add the Margherita pizza as a dunker (shhh!). It’s simply fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, garlic and basil strips on a crisp dough round — the perfect complement to the soup. Variation: You could get the soup and a salad, or the pizza and a salad off the same lunch menu. ■ — Jan Norris, [email protected]
