NIGHTTIME
ONE POT Supper, 7pm-10pm
Michael Hebb founder of One Pot will bring his moveable feast to GOOD to host a lively and possibly contentious evening of conversation, argument, conviviality, and deep pots of food. On December 10th we will gather a group of leading planners, transportation authorities and artists to dine – Michael will be offering us food and a table – but in exchange each attendee is required to bring an artifact, a tidbit of culture, to share with the table. These offerings should speak to the question: What does it mean to move through Los Angeles?
Michael's work can be found at onepot.org
*This dinner continues One Pot's two year inquiry into notions of transportation, the Interstate 5 corridor, table-making and a 35 mile walk to dinner he is planning on January 24th with Pomona College Museum of Art. corridorproject.blogspot.com
