A CULINARY PERFORMANCE UNLIKE ANY OTHERAn incredible dining experience requires coordination and finesse. At the Momentary, dining is a great performance: each course and sense experience designed to bring the vision of the artist—your chefs—to life.
Born out of the Buy or Burn auctions curated by artist Ben Edwards and presented as part of the 2024 INVERSE Performance Art Festival, we invite you to take part in a dinner that embodies dining as performance.
As part of an impeccable five-course meal prepared live in the RØDE House by five acclaimed chefs—the five presenting artists of the evening’s performance—will each present a handcrafted dish. In addition to the theatre of the live kitchen, however, each dish will presented alongside artworks representing the chef’s creative practice.
The food, of course, is yours to enjoy. The artworks, however, will be offered up for auction as part of the Buy or Burn. By personally presenting each lot, the chef tells the stories about how each has shaped their career and menus, giving insight into the practice of the artist from the chefs themselves.
The highest bidder will get to take the artwork home. The catch, as with past iterations of Edwards’s Buy or Burn, is that if no one bids on the work, it will be set ablaze—gone forever.
Full of catharsis, exquisite flavors, and the unique tension between tangible creation and intangible expression, this event promises to deliver a truly memorable dining experience.
See you there.
