6/7/2004: Ham art
 This is artist Cosimo Cavallaro, explaining his work -- a bed with more than 300 pounds of sliced ham -- at a gallery in New York. Cavallaro calls the ham "a pure form of America: all kinds of parts, boiled and pressed together." He rejected prosciutto because "it would have been pompous." And expensive. What's cheap deli ham, like, $2.99/pound? |

Re: 6/7/2004: Ham art
Well, Undetoad is the one who called it "ham." The artist may have been using the cheap ham loaf stuff which is sold as "ham" in many delis (my local Safeway included) and consists of "all kinds of parts, boiled and pressed together."

see the website
With a name like Cosimo Cavallaro he should have been using imported prosciutto! And what is a mere $2.99/ lb if the NEA was funding it?
Be sure to check out his website at http://www.cosimocavallaro.com/ and click on the "download the Wyoming Cheese house flash presentation". Also the one on the burning piano is interesting.

Everyone knows Pastrami is the most sensuous of the smoked meats.

Nasrudin walked into a shop one day, and the owner came forward to serve him. Nasrudin said, "First things first. Did you see me walk into your shop?" "Of course." "Have you ever seen me before?" "Never." "Then how do you know it was me?"
