Recipes for an Encounter
A book launch with performances by The Center for Tactical Magic, Matt Volla and others; presentation by Berin Golonu, Candice Hopkins and Marisa Jahn. Join artist Marisa Jahn and curators Berin Golonu and Candice Hopkins to launch their new book, Recipes for an Encounter, a compendium of recipes, instructionals, diagrams, scores and texts that function as catalysts for various types of encounters. In Recipes for an Encounter, readers are invited to complete the work by testing out the recipes to yield infinitely varied outcomes. Artists who’ve contributed to the book and others will share their recipes in a night of interactive performances. The Center for Tactical Magic will demonstrate spellbinding techniques of sorcery, seduction and spectacle. Matt Volla will lead group exercises in mimesis and empathy. Local chefs will demonstrate their politics as well as their cooking tips in the how-to’s of activist cuisine. And the co-editors of the book will narrate a brief history of art works disseminated as recipes.
