70 x 7 Meal act XXXI Plymouth

The Meal: The blurb: Its a meal for about 75 people. 25 people invite 2 others. The inviter and the 2 invited must all be from 3 different age groups (young middle old). Therefore 2/3s of the invites are a little random which we like and which is in keeping with the artist, Lucy Orta's concept. And it is about sustainability, growing and food. All carbon consumption involved in the production of the meal will be calculated and most of it displayed. The concept is from Lucy Orta with the theme (sustainability etc) from Anne-Marie Culhane and me, Jo Salter.
And Plymouth College of Art students are illustrating the issues mostly of transport that create the carbon footprint of the meal. I.e. the journey of the food to the table from origin to the venue or the travel of ourselves in the managing of this project, or the travel of the wood that became the blackboards that our art students (is that you?) will be working on before and during the meal. Yes during.
So lets upload all sorts of stuff that we think relevant, inspirational and also sketches and images of the work as it progresses. Doodles are fine. We will start to geet a picture of what is needed for each of the boards all of which start as blackboards.
I will go first with my favourite which is The Crabon Map from UHC collective in Manchester: http://www.uhc-collective.org.uk/index.php
