Hi Everyone,
In conjunction with
EPMoA, the third FOOD event in the series I'm curating is scheduled for this Sunday November 14 from 12 - 2pm @ Elysian Park and will be a recreation of artist Tessa Laird's FOOD gathering that was staged in Auckland, New Zealand on November 6th, 2010.
Tessa Laird is an artist and writer living in Auckland, New Zealand. She is currently working towards a doctorate of fine arts, looking at color as the raw material of (r)evolution.
Tessa Laird's original description:
"In a similar vein to Sophie Calle's infamous colour coded diet for a
week, but more in the spirit of The Source Family and their
rainbow-coloured salad than control freak artists (yeah, right!) I
want to propose a Rainbow-Coloured Repast to be shared by friends.
Come, realign your chakras and your tastebuds at one and the same
time!
Six artists have been selected to prepare and share a dish in a
particular hue. I say six because we are operating under the current
assumption that Issac Newton's insertion of Indigo into the spectrum
was humbug. So, that means a dish each in Red, Orange, Yellow, Green,
Blue and Purple".Auckland, November 6, 3pm, Western Park, Ponsonby.
Participating artists: Judy Darragh, Nova Paul, Xin Cheng, Richard Orjis, Peter Madden, Tessa Laird, AD Schierning, and Layla Rudneva-Mackay
Los Angeles, November 14, 12-2pm, Elysian Park (Chavez Ravine Arboretum - area at the corner of Academy and Stadium Way)
Participating artists: Jean Robison, Marcos
Lopez, Fiona Connor + more TBA
