During Alois Kronschlaeger‘s last New York solo show, in 2017, the artist moved his studio workbench to Cristin Tierney’s gallery, where it sat 26 guests for a dinner he cooked with his wife, Florencia Minniti. The event was a recreation of one of the couple’s “Bare Table” dinner party performances that they had been holding for years with friends.
Today, the pandemic has made hosting such affairs more difficult, but that didn’t stop the pair from devising a menu inspired by Kind of Blue, Kronschlaeger‘s immersive, site-specific installation in the empty storefront beneath Tierney’s gallery, named after the Miles Davis record.
