Copenger has collaborated with 8 artists to create cross-disciplinary surfaces for dining service during the Nhậu Dinner. During the dinner, participants will sit and dine on top of the artwork, being brought into physical proximity and community by the artwork. These large-scale dining surfaces are inspired by chiếu, a versatile kind of woven mat that is used in Vietnam, often for dining, sitting, or sleeping. Although it usually functions as a physical barrier between the ground and the body, here the chiếu is instead a connector that gathers and unites strangers into family, if only for a meal.
We invite people to have a more intimate and communal experience with each other and with the art at Nhậu Dinner.
