Live Dining by Nicole Fournier

Live Dining is a planting, harvesting, preparing, composting, cooking, dining performance, a concept

It is about creating a context of integrating a dining-kitchen room installation in a location where plants grow, and where the dining kitchen furniture touch the earth (the ground). Within the dining-kitchen room installation, participants perform the outdoor actions of harvesting, in the same location as the indoor domestic and intimate actions of preparing, cooking and eating.

She writes: “I will be starting two live dining projects with community organizations in the city of Montreal, that will be polyculture, wild plant edible and non-edibles (for biodiversity) for food production for these two groups. The perennial planting and wild plant identification on the sites will begin by October 2009, I will be actively blogging soon about this.
