Capital New York has a write-up of Fluxus great Alison Knowles's recent performance of Make a Salad at the High Line this past Earth Day.

Here's an excerpt:

Among the artist's other event scores are "Shoes of Your Choice," which involves members of the audience coming up to a microphone and describing a pair of shoes, and "Child Art Piece" in which a child is led onto a stage by a parent and then allowed to behave however he or she wishes; the performance ends once the child decides to leave the stage.

"You wouldn't guess the things that could happen!" Knowles exclaimed when we spoke the day before the High Line event, discussing her experience staging the child event score, which debuted at the Fluxus Festival at the Staatliche Kunstakademie in Dusseldorf in 1963. "The child could sit down. The child could start to cry. The child could run off the stage. The child could go up to the front and look at the audience and wave." Unfortunately, she was only able to stage that particular piece a few times, because of what she described as "bureaucracy." Children "four years or younger," she said wearily, are "not allowed on the stage. The mother has to sign papers."

The stars have aligned. This weekend, New Yorkers can spend both Saturday and Sunday eating salad artworks.

On Satuday, at 3 p.m., salad will be served as part of Darren Bader's great show at MoMA PS1, "Images." (There are also burritos in the exhibition, but visitors are not allowed to eat them, as far as we know.)

But Mr. Bader's salad service happens every Saturday—as well as every Monday at 2:15 p.m. What makes this weekend special is that, as we noted in the past, Allison Knowles is going to be serving up a salad for her Make a Salad performance, which she first performed in 1962, on the High Line at West 16th Street. She's doing the piece in honor of Earth Day, and will begin work at 10 a.m., toss the salad at 12 p.m. and serve it up at 12:15.

To balance all of that healthful eating, why not have a slice or two of Klimt Cake at the Neue Galerie's Cafe Sabarsky?
