notch

notch is an ensemble art collective who produce events where the production of food, act of dining, and performance of hospitality are experienced as discursive practices. Highjacking the formal conditions of catering, a dinner party, cocktail lounge, and so on, notch expands the political and social possibilities of an eating engagement by negotiating the tensions between alienated labor and luxury consumption. Selected projects, below.
