About
\nAs part of the ‘MONUMENTS NOW’ exhibition, artist Paul Ram\u00edrez Jonas\u2019 \u2018Eternal Flame\u2019 goes on view Saturday, July 25, 2020. ‘Eternal Flame’ is a monument in the form of a communal grill and imagines cooking culture as both a symbolic and real eternal flame \u2013 there is always a lit cooking fire somewhere on this globe. The work honors the role of cuisine and cooking in cultural cohesion and expression among communities and identities,\u00a0 even when individuals and families relocate locally, nationally or internationally.<\/p>\n
\u2018Eternal Flame\u2019 is designed to recognize the importance of dialogue and exchange. During this new time of social distancing the grill will not be available for public use, but instead bring people together philosophically and culturally through the common experience of cooking and eating. With this in mind, a series of videos will be released with local and distant chefs invited by the artist to address the meaning of the eternal flame while preparing recipes and relating stories on each dish\u2019s significance.
