How is our Autumn Banquet an art project?
It is an evening curated with artists’ curiosity and their persistent pursuit for it. Our principal artist Sergey Jivetin always wanted to create an optical lens with ice. Our fundraiser presented itself as a perfect opportunity for this idea, so he is doing just that, and much more; Bob Lukomski who teaches composition in electronic music at SUNY New Paltz will be performing live using samples of audio recordings from interviews; there will be a variety of video projections.
Paying an homage to the Chanterelle tradition (they had an artist design a menu cover once every six months), we have seven local artists designing a menu cover. Their original works will be on view along with several original menus from the Chanterelle collection (many thanks to Omar Lopez-Chahoud for bringing me to the attention of the menu collection). More importantly, David Waltuck’s cuisine is art. Chanterelle was an art project.
