Sunday Soup at InCUBATE
Quick plug for friends at InCUBATE who use a soup brunch to raise money for an artist grant. Diners choose from a list of applicants who should get the day’s proceeds. Food funds arts.
San Francisco chef Leif Hedendal cooks Sunday, Sept. 20. He’s got a website that makes his cooking look confusing and delicious. It should be interesting — he lists Lucky Dragons as a collaborator.
Sunday: eat at noon, lecture at 1 p.m. $10
An introduction to our newest Sunday Soup organizer, Jennifer Breckner
Cooking or baking can be a romantic gesture, a tool for seduction. It may encourage conversation, acting as a mediator between strangers. It is comfort and sustenance and history. My interest in cooking and baking was first influenced by my paternal grandmother Julia Ryznar Breckner’s ability to make the most humble and inedible ingredients appetizing–iceberg lettuce, for example. Her understanding that cooked and baked goods could be vessels to deliver one’s abundance of love and caring to others was also an inspiration.
Previously, my work as a cultural producer has included positions in Ohio as a gallery director, an assistant for the Cleveland International Performance Art Festival, and an independent curator, amongst others. In Chicago since 2002, I have expanded my interest in both non-object art that moves beyond the traditional gallery and concurrently in food, as a cook as well as in larger terms of its production and consumption. Currently, my research, and a potential future project, is focused on artists’ projects that utilize the meal. I am excited to work with the tireless, intelligent, enjoyable folks at InCUBATE on their innovative Sunday Soup Brunch program where my interests in food and art may come together in meaningful ways. Grants will be awarded the first week of each month.
InCUBATE’s worth supporting.
