Ben Kinmont will reactivate his piece On becoming something else in six Bay Area restaurants in collaboration with SFMOMA. 

For the original presentation of the piece at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Kinmont made a broadside reproducing seven paragraphs he had written, each devoted to an artist who had become something else. Long interested in antiquarian cookbooks, the history of gastronomy, and restaurant culture, he then invited seven Parisian chefs to each create a recipe, based on one of the paragraphs. Each dish served as an homage to the corresponding artist’s decision to leave the art world. The public was invited to each chef’s restaurant to literally consume these representations of the paragraphs, effectively moving the work outside the traditional spaces of the art world.

Kinmont will be working with Bar Tartine, Rich Table, State Bird Provisions, Outerlands, Bar Jules in San Francisco and Camino in Oakland. Each restaurant will be creating a dish about artists who had become something else.
