70x7 The Meal,act XXXIII - Lucy & Jorge Orta at Smiths Row
Times: All year Tue-Sat 10.30-17.00
Taking the form of a long and beautiful dinner table of 70 places, this site-specific installation is an interactive portrait of our community. Focusing on particular regional characteristics of food production, industry and scientific research, Lucy has crafted a unique piece of work that illustrates the important relationship between these different aspects of East Anglian culture.
Elements of the table setting have been hand crafted by makers in Suffolk. Lucy worked with Sudbury based silk weavers, Humphries Weaving Co. Ltd. to produce an 'endless' table runner. The tableware design is full of references to agriculture and scientific theories illustrating the link between diet and health.
Each meal is part of the larger international project 70x7 The Meal where many art forms and disciplines converge. The meals propose a new educational, social and environmental debate and the possibility of endless encounters for guests in numbers equal to multiples of seven.
