LEGENDARY featuring JENNIFER RUBELL Made in Texas Thursday 22 September 19.00 - 22.00 (7.00 - 10.00 pm) For the LEGENDARY event at Dallas Contemporary, Jennifer Rubell’s Made In Texas will be a participatory artwork involving Texas cuisine that is a hybrid of performance art, installation, and happening. Rubell’s large-scale, sensually arresting pieces often employ food and drink as media. Past works have included one ton of ribs with honey dripping on them from the ceiling; 2,000 hard-boiled eggs with a pile of latex gloves nearby to pick them up; 1,521 doughnuts hanging on a free-standing wall; a room-sized cell padded with 1,800 cones of pink cotton candy. Made In Texas will make visible the human labor that is most often hidden inside the kitchens, factories and warehouses of Texan businesses. On each of 7 large platforms, a living scene taken directly from a factory, workshop or enterprise in the Dallas + Fort Worth area -- including actual equipment, workers, materials and ingredients -- will be reenacted, from assembling tamales to pressing table linens. The final product of this labor will be given to participants to eat, use and consider. Honorary Chair: Robert Hallam Jr., Ben E. Keith Co. Thank you, Dallas, for a wonderful evening!LEGENDARY supports Dallas Contemporary exhibition and learning programs. |
