Last Supper Food Artist 2009 – Wild Feasties

Food Artist: Wild Feasties (Logan Smith, Carissa Carman, Eliza Stamps, Emily Bolevice)

Title: Table for Two

For The Last Supper, the Wild Feasties proposes a dining experience in an unusual location, using whole food ingredients, where participants are asked to engage and follow a series of instructions and ritual to share a delectable vegetarian meal.  Wild Feasties uses the routine of eating as a way of inserting instruction, interactivity, natural foods education, wild food concocting, tasting, experimenting with taste, seasoning with potions, and bringing a sense of true nourishment in a moment of chaotic artistic social affairs.  If you feel good you live better.  We are providing a means when no one has any.  The 15 minute meals of Wild Feasties are hope, nourishment, and by no means a mean to the end, but a means to something better… a refresh… a new friend, and new taste… a wild feast!

Bio:

Wild Feasties is a loose collective of artists and naturalists who all engage with food within their creative endeavors.  These endeavors may take place in the studio, in the kitchen, or out in the world.  Through our events, we aim for our guests to have an artful food experience; one that stirs the senses, both literally and figuratively. Our cuisine is typically simple, with an emphasis on celebrating the incredible taste of farm fresh vegetables. Wild Feasties events emerge from the location upon which they are set.  The menu is determined entirely by what the harvest brings.  In early fall, the harvest menu could be: Kale Purses with seared chippoline onions and local goat cheese, Roasted leek risotto, Butternut Buttons, Finger Lakes salt potatoes
