The Kitchen Table - Eugenia P. Butler

from Box Editions

Transcribed and edited by Leila Hamidi.
A series of eight conversations over meals with twenty-seven artists at a hidden booth at Art/LA ‘93.

Released September 2018.

In 1993, Eugenia P. Butler invited twenty-six artists from around the world to have conversations with her over a series of meals in a hidden booth at Art/LA ’93, for an event titled The Kitchen Table. The conversations were grounded by the story-telling mode of exchange over a meal, and it was Butler’s belief that the project and the deep exchange of ideas it proposed were a valid form of art. This publication of the unabridged conversations, transcribed and edited by Leila Hamidi, commemorates the 25th anniversary of this project.
