Autumn Chacon 'Noise Cooking'
Saturday 29 April 2017, 4pm
Autumn Chacon’s Noise Cooking is a performance of cooking with mic’d knives and other utensils. Chacon collaborates with local artists and chefs to perform recipes traditional to the region, allowing audiences to re-experience familiar foods.
Autumn Star Chacon is a Diné/Chicana multimedia and performance artist from the Southwestern United States. Chacon looks for traditional philosophy in contemporary stories and experiences. Often using electronic sound and unconventional radio frequencies she creates environments where an audience is free to control how much of her work they wish to receive. Chacon is also a farmer/agriculturist using food as an living medium.
