Whole Artist: Sarah and Joseph Belknap

Posted on 11/13/09 in Past Events, Whole Artist Past Events, 5 Comments

This dinner is part of the Clandestino Artist Dinner Series. This series was developed by Curator Vicki Fowler. We spend an evening with a local artist in their space, and enjoy a collaborative and delicious meal using local ingredients. On Friday the 13th, we served our labor intensive menu at the home studio of artists Sarah and Joseph Belknap in Cicero. We used acorn squash from the Belknap's backyard garden. Their work relies heavily on collaboration and on performing labor and using labor as a type of evidence that implicates the viewer. Their work also addresses the rust belt, ecology, the economy, architecture, research, and disasters, both natural and unnatural. Thanks to the Northside Southpaws for a great performance.

  • Fingerling potato salad, lamb and pork sausage, baby arugula
  • Spy Apples, raw milk cheddar, and local honey
  • Acorn squash ravioli w/ pesto and maple cream
  • Apple Cake, Pistachio Cake, Acorn squash ice cream, cider caramel

Potatoes from Nichols Farm. Lamb sausage from Mint Creek Farm. Pork Sausage from Twin Oaks Farm. Spy apples and cider from Seedling. Raw milk cheddar from Brunkow Creamery.

    Hi – the menu and event sound fantastic. I’m just wondering, besides the artisan sausages, will there be any meat or alcohol cooked in the meal? I’m in an inter-dietary relationship. 🙂
