This event has ended.

Organized in conjunction with the "Prolonged Engagement" exhibition, and inspired by Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett' "Playing to the Senses: Food as a Performance Medium," Elizabeth Thacker Jones addresses the link between performance and food as it relates to the growing interest in local and regional food systems, and specific artistic practices that revolve around ideas of prolonged engagement and sustainability. To ground the conversation, Jones and curator Erin Sickler will provide a dinner made from locally sourced ingredients.

Elizabeth Thacker Jones is currently a Nutrition Educator in New York City Public Schools in collaboration with Studio in A School, NYC Greenmarket and Columbia Teachers College. She received her BA in Visual Art and French from Oberlin College (2002) and is pursuing a Food Studies MA from New York University. Elizabeth lives in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
