Last night was the Sourced Material: Wool Artist's Fete at flatbreadaffair. The dinner was amazing. All of the food was prepared by flatbreadaffair's chef Leah Rinaldi (except for the lamb's neck which was braised for 10 hrs by Sourced Material chef Jake Levin). Leah combined raw food techniques, traditional North-east American recipes, and haute cuisine, to turn all locally sourced food products into a gorgeous and delicious 8-course meal.
The conversation was rich and exciting- touching on topics like: farming, urban gardening, the relationship between curator and artist, the local artist community and of course food. It was a wonderful salon atmosphere and we can't imagine it having gone any better. We were particularly excited to have the artist Anne Lise Jensen there. We instantly hit it off. She told us about her practice and the difficulties she has experience doing social intervention art here in NYC (as opposed to the West Coast or Europe). Again we want to thank flatbreadaffair for an amazing job and for all of there support and of course we want to thank all of you who came to eat and talk with us!
