This Saturday (June 25th! 8pm!), we’ll premiere our project, Night Market.

We started the process six months ago, when we interviewed vendors and staff of Central Wholesale Market (the produce market that provides ingredients for many of LA’s hottest restaurants). On Saturday, we’ll celebrate their stories with a wild evening of interdisciplinary performances and installations, featuring a wide array of local artists who have been inspired by these interviews.

On Tuesday, we met four of the artists we’ll be collaborating with. Let’s meet the other three!

Christopher Reynolds performing The Schauss Kitchen

CHRISTOPHER REYNOLYDS

Christopher’s artistic practice investigates the relationship between one’s self and others, using food as the catalyst. The foods we eat, the company we keep, and where we dine are all elements of daily performances both literally and metaphorically, exhibiting how we connect (and often disconnect) through the ritual of eating. Through community projects, sculptures, installation, photography, video, and performances, he wants the participating audience to understand the historical and socially-constructed power of food that molds our cultural, political, and economic positions in this world.

Congratulations to Chris, who will not be performing live at Night Market because his partner just had a baby! We will be screening and performing to his film “Testing for Doneness”.
