Book Launch

Emily Carr University of Art + Design
1399 Johnston Street
Granville Island, Vancouver
Join artists, writers, and co-editors to launch the new book Recipes for an Encounter, a compendium of recipes, instructionals, diagrams, scores and texts that function as catalysts for various types of encounters. In Recipes for an Encounter, readers are invited to complete the work by testing out the recipes to yield infinitely varied outcomes. Contributors to the book and other artists will share their recipes in a night of interactive performances.
At each book launch, co-editors, Berin Golonu, Candice Hopkins, and Marisa Jahn, will narrate a brief history of art works disseminated as recipes. In Vancouver, join artists Glenn Lewis, Kristina Podesva & Alan McConcie for the performance of their recipes. In San Francisco, The Center for Tactical Magic will demonstrate spellbinding techniques of sorcery, seduction and spectacle. Matt Volla will lead group exercises in mimesis and empathy. Local chef Jerome Waag will involve the audience in a curious, curious cook fest and a workshop with Larry Bogad, Amy Franceschini, Michael Swaine, and Marisa Jahn will take place on Saturday, January 30.
