“It was a pleasant cafe, warm and clean and friendly, and I hung up my old water-proof on the coat rack to dry and put my worn and weathered felt hat on the rack above the bench and ordered a cafe au lait. The waiter brought it and I took out a notebook from the pocket of the coat and a pencil and started to write"

FEAST

One of my friends who is pursuing art at St. Norbs sent me this link, and I found it very interesting. I've discussed food and the dining experience in relation to relationships/communications with Kelsey in the recent past, but this exhibit at an art museum in Chi-town takes it a step farther. I feel as though I would like to try out this concept--making a meal a sort of performance art, making it memorable and enlightening. I think this face-to-face connection is often lacking in modern society, and I'd like to change that-- at least in my own life.

-the link for videos is at the bottom of the page & these are particularly awesome. They do an excellent job of showing the diversity of radical hospitality projects.

    Wow! This is such an interesting idea and I love it. I enjoy how this semi political movement became artwork. It really is moving. :)
