Newspaper Soup is an interactive installation and performance art piece originated by reports on desperate food choices in parts of the world. The project was introduced in the Nation’s Capital in 2007 as a pre-packaged family meal. Artists Carolina Mayorga and Craig Garrett were selected to present the second installment of the project, The L.A. Times Food Cart, as part of Un-Space Ground, a visual and performance art event at the 100th annual College Art Association Conference in Los Angeles, CA on February 25th, 2012. For this installment, artists/food vendors will offer conference attendees an eco-friendly and supportive of the local economy lunch option as it claims to recycle The L.A. Times robust advertisement and sports sections. For more information about this project visit: carolinamayorga.com

Flora Choi, Art in Odd Places 2011 artist, has an upcoming exhibition at Cuchifritos Gallery and Project Space. The opening reception will be on Dec. 22 from 5 to 7 pm. Flora’s work will be on display until January 15. Flora talked to us about her work:
“Daeng’gi Kimchi Factory is a performance–installation piece where I will be taking chopped off daeng’gi braids ( a traditional Korean hairstyle that was once worn by adolescent girls) for cabbage, and make my own special version of kimchi. This piece confronts the male-dominated traditions of the past and investigates the state of women in Korea today. This piece will be accompanied by several live performances”
Performance Dates are as follows:
Dec 22- 5-7pm,
Dec. 30 3-4pm,
Jan 6, 3-4pm, and
Jan 13 3-4pm.
CUCHIFRITOS Gallery and Project Space is located at 120 Essex Street, inside Essex Street Market between Rivington and Delancey Street.
We are very excited for your exhibition, Flora! See you on Dec. 22 for the opening.
