70 x 7 The Meal, act XXXl is a collaboration between Lucy + Jorge Orta and local artists Anne-Marie Culhane and Jo Salter.
The 31st act of the dining project is a celebration of wild and local food: growing it, eating it and sharing it and provides the opportunity for an invited audience to enjoy a special meal in friendly discussion around the theme of food and sustainability. Regional foods from the South-West area of England have been harvested and prepared by chefs from Fat Hen, a small rural family enterprise set up by forager and professional ecologist Caroline Davey.
Jamie Mclaren-Smith, environmental business manager from Groundwork South West, will be carrying out a carbon footprint calculation, taking in the total distances travelled by guests and food alike and the electricity and gas used on the night, therefore enabling him to work out a representative figure of the event’s approximate carbon footprint, comparing it to more commercial practices.
The event is organised by Groundwork South West in collaboration with Plymouth Arts Centre and Plymouth College of Art where a solo exhibition of Lucy Orta's work is open until the 8th November 2009.
