As Betty says, "The art world is social then and now."
Just hearing Paul, Melissa and the other guests talk about their first meetings and how their friendships developed over time with food and art was delightful. Their community of "starving" artists" evoked a heartwarming feeling. Normally the term "starving artists" has a negative connotation where people look down on artists. However, in their case, they embraced themselves, learned with and from each other, cooked meals and discussed things over art. Their stories are recorded into the cookbook and are passed on.
Arthur Fournier noted one person's observation that the community had to actually go to each person's home/living habitat in order to get to know that particular person. Nowadays, we learn from each other through our Instagram, Facebook and other social media apps. In a sense, we are still connected, but there is still a slight gap. Conversations are different. Questions are not really asked at social gatherings.
In the exhibition, there was a ceramics ware and handkerchief stating the eidia (Everything I Do Is Art) manifesto.
