“More than merely another Los Angeles Philharmonic centennial season classical music transgression, Knowles’ latest performance of her famed Fluxus score, “Proposition #2: Make a Salad,” was just possibly the single most transgressive act any major symphony orchestra had ever undertaken in a traditional concert hall.

With the help of dicing, slicing sous chefs — every percussive thump of the knife and ding of a large metal salad bowl was amplified, making a rhythmically idiosyncratic percussion piece — Knowles first oversaw the prep work on tables set up onstage.

She then dumped buckets of lettuce, carrots and tomatoes directly onto the precious, delicate Alaskan yellow cedar stage floor, which was protected by a large blue plastic tarp turned into a de facto mixing bowl. Salad dressing was ceremoniously poured from gallon cans. Clouds of salt and pepper powdered the atmosphere in the manner of religious rite. The audience cheered. An unobtrusively improvising electric guitarist on the sidelines muted his strings with quantities of leaves and buds he pulled from a large flower vase.

After removing her shoes and putting on booties, Knowles walked onto the plastic and raked the mountain of lettuce as though it were a pile of autumn leaves. The salad was then served in paper bowls to those in the audience who had hung around for the hour-plus that the performance lasted. It proved fresh and tasty.”

Inspiration # 1

1.  Close your eyes 2.  Look down at your desk 3.  If you do not have a desk, look down at the ground, or rotate in a clockwise manner 4.  Find the nearest written material and choose the first two words on the page 5.  Divide the first two words into two five-letter words 6.  Exchange the second letter of the first word with the second letter of the second 7.  Choose this first word as a new word and promote it 8.  Paint it on acrylic paint on an envelope-shaped piece of paper 9.  Mail the letter to a museum chosen at random using google searches  a.  search for “museum” on google  b.  go to random.org (or other number generation site using true random numbers from atmospheric noise) and generate a number between 1 and 99  c.  scroll down the results for that number of clicks  d.  choose the museum in the lower-right hand corner  e.  mail letter to this museum’s address 10.  Receive much money and accolades and give it all to the poor
