(I find it unsurprising that for centuries eggplant stood high on Europe's list of "Dangerous and Immoral Foods.") I have always hated the fruit, or so I thought, until the evening I had dinner at her house and she served it to me. As I was eating, I exclaimed, "This is great, what is this?" and she replied, "Eggplant." Amazed, I said, "No, it can't be eggplant." After confirming that it was indeed the detested dish, she explained that it must be pressed overnight between a stack of plates to drain the bitter juices so that it tastes sweeter. "Well, why does it never taste like that when I eat it in restaurants?" I asked, to which she replied that restaurants don't have the time…" Colin Gardner, excerpted from the essay, "Remapping the Dance of the Honeybee: Rhizomic Space in Diana Thater's "Knots + Surfaces," published in Robert Lehman Lectures on Contemporary Art No. 4. | | |
