Why this artist is deep-frying American flags—and inviting guests to bring their favorite seasonings for the batter:
While many Americans were enjoying Memorial Day barbecues this past weekend, artist Kiyan Williams was concocting a cookout of a different sort: This Sunday at Lyles and King gallery in New York the artist will be frying up some American flags.
“A source of vitality for me during the pandemic,” the artist said, “was cooking on the phone with my friends and sharing recipes… It became this way of being with people and engage in a kind of ritual of community without being able to physically be with people.” “I started to realize that cooking was this kind of non-traditional way to manipulate materials, kind of a sculptural process,” Williams recalled.
But there’s another side, too. As the project extends beyond the sculptures to include a participatory event—a “social practice piece,” the artist said—so, too, do its intentions broaden beyond pharisaical critique. Inviting participants to introduce their own spices and culinary traditions to the recipe, Williams is also asking them to reflect on our own relationship to the flag, the country, and our national pastimes.
