Ah, food art set to classical music

I love art, especially when it's done with food. If you are also a fan of this kind of thing, you should check out the Tate Modern Fluxus extravaganza on the weekend of May 24.

American artist Alison Knowles will perform her "Make a Salad" piece. It's pretty self explanatory. She will coordinate a group of chef's in making a giant salad (big enough to feed 300 audience members) all set to the music of Mozart. It's an artwork designed to "blur the line between art and everyday activity."

If you're a foodie who's also into art, this may be the perfect event for you. How many other times are you going to be able to combine two of your favorite things?
