Traces Dinner

About

Traces is an eating experience that uses the table as canvas, tracing the interactions of guests by engaging them in a hands-on dinner.

For the 2014 Armory week, a multi-course meal, designed in collaboration with chefs Jose Ramirez-Ruiz and Pamela Yung, is served directly onto a “stage”, created in the space by artist Courtney Smith, illuminated by Iván Navarro and activated, occupied and transformed by this series of staged dinners curated by Emilie Baltz.

From vinaigrette drizzled on palms to tartar tasting with their fingertips, guests take a journey outside of their comfort zone to a realm of unexpected experimentation as they eat using no utensils, left with only their hands to taste and savor the food.. The evidence of the engagement results in the creation of a series of tableau “vivants” that serve as edible abstraction.

Intimate setting of 20 guests hosted at Hotel Particulier Gallery.
