Art For Lunch

Food Art Feast

Performa ‘09, a month-long biennial performance/ art event, began on November 1st. Jennifer Rubell organized the opening dinner, a feast for a crowd of 700, which incorporated biblical-themed food stations. The creative theme was depicted by three floors representing heaven, earth and hell. The top floor resembled an icy-white heaven; the middle floor, Earth, craftily displayed a ceiling-hung honeycomb, which dripped onto hundreds of Daisy May BBQ ribs. The bottom floor, ”Hell,” included apple trees and dessert.

The artistic presentation was even seen at the bar, where guests had to make their own drinks in a freight elevator full of liquor bottles.

Additionally, famed chocolatier Jaques Torres created seven replicas of Jeff Koons’s famous bunny sculpture, which guests cracked with hammers.
