For Wednesday-Breakfast As Art

"The line between art and life should be kept as fluid, and perhaps as indistinct as possible..."
-Allan Kaprow, 1966

"John Baldessari once told me that in making art what is important is not what you make, but the stories that come out of making it. After an object is gone, the stories will be around. Aren't stories involving other peo9ple and situations a bit more interesting than ones about just you, alone, in your studio?"
-Mungo Thompson, 2000

Breakfast:
Do something, anything, that involves yourself and at least one other person. Bring something, anything, to class at 10:30 that is evidence of the work. The piece can take almost any form you like but it needs to be in a form that will allow the rest of the class to discuss it later.
Consider how this engagement with someone changes your own practice. What is the role of the group? How can you turn the disadvantages of a group into an advantage? How could you turn food into art, or how can you utilize the power of an omelet to change society?
