This is a rip off of the dinner party that the Swiss surrealist artist Meret Oppenheim threw for a grew of her friends. Then in 1992 my then boss, Tim Nye and I (as director and curator ) of the Thread Waxing Space organized another such dinners, through the two artists Chrysanne Stathakos and Hunter Reynolds who called it THE BANQUET. Here’s the URL for that event: http://chrysannestathacos.com/banquet.html
This is nothing new…it’s just that this restaurant in Portland is NOT divulging the background for this idea and passing it off as it’s something original.
