SubscribeArt Meets Beast: MCA Denver hosts bison carving and food porn
Art Meets Beast is a nose-to-tail bison roast
Put on your bibs, Denver food fans, and maybe your blinders: The Museum of Contemporary Art Denver is once again gearing up for Art Meets Beast, a two-day extravaganza that features a nose-to-tail bison fest, complete with a butchering workshop of a whole bison, a subsequent feast, and what is billed as a “vegetarian pornographic food film with live score.”
We are not making this up.
The fun — well, except for the guest of honor, you know, the four-legged critter once featured on the back of the U.S. nickel — starts Friday Nov. 9 and runs through Saturday.
Here’s the line-up:
