In the Talmudic tradition of havruta, scholars read and discuss a text in pairs, challenging each other’s interpretation of its meaning. In this spirit, the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco invites visual artists to select a havruta partner from a non-art field to co-produce an exhibition. I invited chef and educator Jessica Prentice of Three Stone Hearth. After many months of dialogue, our collaboration culminated in a meal held at Jessica’s house on January 9, 2015, and an installation of objects and traces, a new drawing and a three-channel video on view at the CJM January 22 - April 14th, 2015. The meal might be best understood as a co-production by five women who, through the “performance” of the meal, marked reactive tablecloths made with natural dyes, activated ceramic-ware made by Helena, and enacted narrative recipes written by Jessica.
