Jennifer Rubell Combines Art and Food

Hello,

check out this cool project The Reconciliation Dinner (2009) by artist Jennifer Rubell, who uses food as art medium, material, and a tool to convey meaning in her work.

Here’s an excerpt from the statement:

The Reconciliation Dinner was conceived to capture that liminal moment,  the space between disagreement and agreement, between antagonism and  understanding, between hostility and peace……. We will use that bread as a utensil, as a vehicle, as a means of  connection to those around us.  Breaking bread will be our first shared  action.  The bread will not reconcile our differences, but it will bring  us into conversation.  We will learn to give and to take…….And we will, we hope, begin to reconcile.
