Post #1 - October 22nd, 2009, 8:00 amPerforma is a three-week performance-art festival opening in New York City next week. There are a number of notable food events happening as part of the festival.
Instead of an opening dinner, the festival begins with a series of food happenings, including apples from chopped down trees as dessert by Jennifer Rubell. Information about tickets for the opening can be found here.
Two other food installation-performances I noted on the Performa calendar:
Pasta Sauna (Proef) by Marije Vogelzang:Performa Hub
41 Cooper Square
Wednesday, November 4 - Friday, November 6, times vary
According to Marinetti, pasta was the worst food to eat, because it made humans slow, dull, and fat–so in this installation, the steam created from boiling pasta will form a sauna, giving audience members the chance to be as lazy and un-energetic as they want.
Curated by Esa Nickle. Commissioned by Performa. Supported by The Mondriaan Foundation.
11/06 from Noon – 3 PM
FREE LUNCH
Snöfrid Ruby Distillery by Ylva Ogland:Swiss Institute
495 Broadway # 3
Tuesday, November 3 - Sunday, November 8, times vary
“The Ruby is for the core of Lust…for the connection to the uncontrolled controlled”. The artist’s mirror twin will enter the earthly world through an ancient alchemical process, made present as a vodka distilled with rubies, aided by Emily Sundblad, Lucie Fontaine, Dimitris Papadatos, The Keeper, Johan Hjerpe, Mackenzie Sneider, Gianni Jetzer, RoseLee Goldberg, Tairone Bastien, Defne Ayas, Angelo Plessas, Marina Folkidis, Margaret Lee, and Secret Guest Helper. “We serve me from the distillery, so that you can drink me.“ Snöfrid, Treriksröset, 02-10-2009.
Ylva Ogland (b. Umeå, Sweden 1974) and her Mirror Twin Snöfrid (b. Treriksröset, on the border between Sweden, Finland and Norway). “Existential Individuation, Earth is the platform of Life what is new and what is? What is behind and what is beyond? We have traveled and so far and met people over the last year in Tokyo, Basel, the Galaxies, Miami, Berlin, Stockholm, the Heaven, Naples, Hydra, the Ocean, Athens, Tourette, Shanghai, behind the Mirrors, Bergen, New York, and by the Siegessäule for Eternal Life.” Snöfrid, Treriksröset 10072009 http://www.ylvaogland.com
