While continuing to explore the role of edibles in present-day art, the second edition of ORANGE: Contemporary Art Event of Saint-Hyacinthe takes a more critical and political tack. The chosen theme – COMO COMO, meaning "how I eat" in Spanish – implies an intention to raise awareness of the food chain and its issues. Probing society's eating habits and going beyond our relationship to table fare to address the agricultural and environmental aspects of the field-to-fork journey, the event provides ample food for thought.

Like the first edition, held in 2003, ORANGE 2006 is international in scope and involves fifteen artists from Quebec, elsewhere in Canada and abroad, some of them working in residence. Their creations are presented at EXPRESSION and in nearby vacant premises, with public interventions taking place around downtown Saint-Hyacinthe.
