#ephermerality

I flow around myself, and clinging memories erupt, cascading around silent clockwork. The river rolls, and bends, and turns upon itself, and leaves no trace of what I have forgotten. I rake the sandy grit of their passing, reach for the murky distance. the fleeting mind-fragment I know forever gone. And follow I the river-bed, to where the world and nothing meet Where smoky haze blows endless ways, upon an endless sea.

There nothing lies but doldrums mute, the clouds becalmed, the waters still. Though naught is lost, for all is known that must be had, yet - 

February 2013: Ephemerality and Temporality, Hosted by Lisa Sikorski

This dinner will loosely take the form of one of Lisa's projects, "What We Remember", which is appropriately about food.  

 "What We Remember" is a collection of food memories, research for recipes and a new community for eating. The project consists of food memories collected through an informal, 10 minute, one-on-one interview process. Each food memory goes through a careful sifting and winnowing process post interview. Gleaning ingredients and sensory experiences, I reconfigure the stories into new recipes. Ultimately, I share these recipes and the associated memories with others at food memory dinners conducted several times a year. Through this project I aim to find a different way to look at our memories as well as food and the way it is consumed. http://lisasikorski.com/CURRENT.html -Lisa Sikorski

  Being that the work of social practice is often about relationships, community, communal/temporary actions how do you deal with the inherent ephemerality that is present in this type of work?
