HGS Home Chef, a kitchenware store and cooking school
and the contemporary art gallery LABspace, both in Hillsdale, NY team up to
present “CHOW” a group art exhibit and food demo series by several of the
artists in the exhibition. “CHOW” opens at LABspace on Thursday, July 7th with
a reception for the artists on Saturday July 9th from 1-3pm. The exhibition runs
through August 6th. All are welcome.
It is no surprise that artists are food lovers and,
often, creative entertainers and chefs. Picasso and Monet were celebrated for
their dinner parties full of color and flowing wines. Food and art go together like bread and chocolate, and
artists who have mastered cooking are a very special breed of bon vivant.
Carl D’Alvia makes sculpture using a pasta making
machine, Jennifer Coates conflates paint with cooking sauces, Elaine Tin Nyo
documents the raising, creating and sharing of food, Michelle Segre uses bread
as a sculptural medium, DGKrueger dips polaroids made during intimate times
with his partner in chocolate, Mie Yim uses pastels to draw food on Martha
Stewart paint chips and Mike Geno exquisitely paints cheeses with oil paints so
gorgeously that one nearly hallucinates cheese smells in place of the linseed
oil of his paint. Tracy Miller paints luscious and celebratory scenes of
cake-laden tabletops.
LABspace is located at 2462 NY Route 23 in
Hillsdale, NY just west of NY Route 22 underneath CrossRoads Food Shop. The
gallery is open Thursdays and Fridays from 1-5 and Saturdays from 11-5. Hillsdale is a 25 minute drive from the Wassaic stop on Metro North and a 20 min drive from the Hudson stop on Amtrak and a 15 minute drive from the Peter Pan bus stop in Great Barrington, MA. Rides from any of these locations can be arranged with advance notice. http://labspaceart.blogspot.com/
Three of the artists whose work will be featured
in CHOW will be conducting food demos/talks at HGS Home Chef across the street
from the gallery at 2635 Route 23.
Tickets for the food demonstrations may be

ELAINE TIN NYO’S ‘SOUR CHERRY PIE’
Sunday, July 17, 2016 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM
$50
Elaine Tin Nyo is a conceptual artist with a
kitchen and a studio in New York City and the French Basque country. Using
performance, video, photography, cooking and writing, she reframes the everyday
rituals of food and its preparation so we may reflect on the inherent beauty
and value of the seemingly unimportant moments of our lives. In addition to her
visual arts background, she has learned at the side of home cooks and
restaurant chefs on three continents.
She received support from Creative Capital
Foundation for her project, This Little Piggy, which follows a single pig from
birth to ham in five ham-centric regions of the world (USA, France, Italy,
Spain and China). The Museum of Modern Art presented her evening-long dining
event “Edible Magritte” in conjunction with their exhibition of Rene Magritte’s
paintings. “Sour Cherry Pie” is two-to-three-week-long performance that
celebrates friendship and simple pleasures of summer fruit and pastry. It has
occurred annually for more than a decade. Elaine will demo her famous Sour
Cherry Pie, after which each attendee will get a slice!

JENNIFER COATES ‘BUBBLES’ AND TART TASTING
Friday, July 29, 2016 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Free
Jennifer Coates’s paintings are all food all the
time. For 15 years she has been exploring the relationship between the
viscosity of paint and food. Jennifer is also a superb and award winning pastry
baker. For this event she will give her talk on Bubbles (description below) and
bring and serve her famous orange tart with a salted pecan crust, orange
marmalade, elderflower caramel, mascarpone cream with ground star anise, grated
chocolate. To-die-for. Actual bubbly will be served with the tart following her
talk.
Bubbles: Life, Death and Cleanliness:
In this lecture, Jennifer Coates follows the
circuitous path of the bubble through history and across scale. Her point of
departure is World War II and the dropping of the atomic bomb, what philosopher
Timothy Morton has referred to as the beginning of the Age of Acceleration.
Coincident with this time of mass annihilation was an explosion of development
in synthetic chemistry, which gave birth to weapons, pharmaceuticals and new
materials of all kinds. Not the least of which was the synthetic surfactant, a
molecule that increased the surface area of bubbles in hygiene and cleaning
products, causing their massive proliferation in industry, culture and
bathrooms around the world. Bubbles have been used as an object of inspiration
for philosophers, artists, writers, architects and chefs, throughout history.
Bubbles in all their forms are explored through images—a visual essay that
shows morphological rhymes to make a larger point about our connection of
bubbles.
The event is free but please rsvp to labspaceart@gmail.com or via https://
ALSO: The talk and tasting will be followed by a short musical performance by the duo Phrogz (Jennifer Coates and David Humphrey.) And the short performance will be followed by a jam session. Musicians, bring your instruments if you wish to join in.
