JUNK FOOD Lip-smacking lunacy and artful food-fight abandon characterize 'Snacks', an all-woman bacchanalian art exhibit whipped up to a raucous textural puree with playful feminized morsels that will make art gorgers feel anything but crummy. Stephanie Syjuco's velvet menstrual puddles lie near Amy Berk's buoyant animal-farm finger sandwiches for saltwatery modernist Piet Mondrian, while Mary Doyle's twisted drawings form a colorful baroque carnival aimed at suckers for lollipops and spicier eye candy. Touchy-feely types are invited to reshape Bal Russell's tangled ruler of life on the Velcro void and to tweak Katy Rafanello's giant carrot fetish doll to activate loopy remote-controlled rabbit dances.
