American visual artist Alison Knowles is going to restage her 1962 Make a Salad performance, on NYC' High Line, in honor of Earth Day celebrating today.
Knowles will be chopping lettuce and other ingredients, in collaboration with Jessica Higgins, to the beat of live music by Joshua Selman. Originally premiered at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in 1962, the artist has repeated the event over the years at such venues as the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Wexner Museum in 2004 and most recently at the Tate Modern in 2008 (a performance shown in these pictures). The vegetables may vary from event to event, but the music is typically Mozart.
Today's event will take place on the High Line at West 16th Street in the Chelsea Market Passage. Salad prep will begin at 10am through 12 noon at which point Knowles and her team will toss the salad for spectators. 12:15 to 1pm the salad will be served up to audience members.
