part-performance, part-cooking show, 2011

"Long and skinny, short and thick, tiny micropenis," I declared while I prepared Vietnamese fresh rolls while discussing sexual experiences and unpacking Asian homosexual stereotypes. There was an exchange of ideas, personal narratives, and skills while I prepared the food with and for others—to break down the barriers between performer and audience. Size, scale, and function are all addressed. 

Consumption was part of Eat Sleep Breathe (and Shit) curated by Maggie Flynn at VSVSVS. 

"How is a life spent? Some things, biological things, are inevitable. But between the moments of biological necessity, there are infinite possible activities that may fill a day in any given life. Performance is just one of these possibilities, but it is one that may help us reimagine the other activities that shape our lives." - Maggie Flynn (excerpted from Maggie's curatorial text.
