At 20 Cooper Sq, room 101 in New York, a lunchtime performance re-stages Alison Knowles’s The Identical Lunch, a landmark Fluxus-era work that treats a meal as art. Attendees are served an identical lunch prepared to a single specification, turning a routine act of eating into a shared performance. The piece frames hospitality, repetition, and democratic participation as core elements of contemporary art within the expo context.
