Deep Fried Books
Last night, Laura and I went to Art Hop and had a grand ol’ time wandering around. There was so much to see (and smell), that it was impossible to cover everything.
The highlight of the evening was John La Falce and Drew Luan Matott’s Deep Fried Books performance (?) at Green Door Studio. The smell was… uh… interesting. I chose a copy of Hurricane (pictured above) and Laura chose a paperback copy of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest covered in Oreo Cookies to be deep fried, then sealed with a FoodSaver®. Mmm, there ain’t nothin’ like a good ol’ book fry.
The lowlight of the evening was the fashion show. In all fairness, we didn’t actually see the show because the catwalk was barely elevated, there were hundreds of people in front of us, and we’re both short.
UPDATE:
Laura’s cats broke the seal of her deep fried book but didn’t touch the book. Anyone have a FoodSaver® she can use?
I brought my book to work for the Monday morning staff meeting, which has now become show and tell.
