Friday the 13th

This dinner is part of the Clandestino Artist Dinner Series. This series was developed by Curator Vicki Fowler. We spend an evening with a local artist in their space, and enjoy a collaborative and delicious meal using local ingredients.

Last time, we were in the home studio of artist Elizabeth Buchanan in the Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago.

Her work inspired us to create some delicious food. Check out the photos from the Buchanan dinner HERE.

In November, on Friday the 13th, we'll be at the home studio of artists Sarah and Joseph Belknap in nearby Cicero. Cocktail Hour begins promptly at 7pm with one of our signature amuse bouche's, and the first of four courses will be on the table at 7.30pm.

Their work relies heavily on collaboration and on performing labor and using labor as a type of evidence that implicates the viewer. Their work also addresses the rust belt, ecology, the economy, architecture, research, and disasters, both natural and unnatural.

The meal will be served family style, using acorn squash and herbs from the garden on-site. Come watch us make ravioli in the kitchen. Explore the house and the studio. Sarah and Joseph will transform their home into a live installation, displaying past projects and creating new ones.

Performance by the Northside Southpaws, the world's only all-left-handed, all-resophonic mandolin/guitar duo.
