Ep. #124: Alison Kuo, NY-based artist specializing in food-based performance

New York-based artist Alison Kuo talks about: living in the Financial District of Manhattan--how she came to live there and what it's like; her performances using food, including her recent Chinese restaurant-inspired New Jin Guang II at Motel in Brooklyn and her piece 'Serve Me a Drink;' her being from Texas (Dallas), and the Texas expats that she's congregated with in New York; thoughts on molecular gastronomy, including her experience eating at the renowned (and now close) WD-50; her popular photo blog Accidental Chinese Hipsters; her love of tiny old people; her route to performance through teaching ESL to adults; and as a bonus, she and Michael Shaw play a game of name-a-food-artist.
