Yes, Chef/ Black Caesar Art-full Member Dinner

  • 161 Water Street New York, NY, 10038 United States (map)

Art-full members are invited to join us on Friday November 15th for a viewing of the new YES, CHEF exhibit by Water Street Projects, followed by a delcious dinner at the Black Caesar pop-up restaurant, which takes its name from the Tavares Strachan work in the exhibit.

YES, CHEF presents works by 34 artists whose work explores the connections between food and power by recognizing the ancestral, erotic and visceral attributes of food. This exhibition traces the objects, hierarchies, and rituals that organize the ways we commune and break bread together.

The exhibit invites us to excavate the power structures and historical narratives that are inherent in our systems of growing, processing, selling, buying, cooking, and eating food. We are what we eat, and YES, CHEF presents a framework to savor and digest the complexities of our relationship with food, and where it intersects with domination, decadence, deliciousness, and decay.

After viewing the thought-provoking exhibit, we’ll discuss our impressions over a family style prix-fixe dinner at the Black Ceasar restaurant which is connected to the exhibit. Conceived with Strachan, the fusion menu highlights North African and Roman Italian cuisine.

All tickets include the prix-fixe menu. Beverages NOT included.
