We’re in the midst of summer but fall events are starting to show up on our radar. The Creators Project returns to NY this October, with a series of events that have traveled the world over with new and original work. This includes the premier of Karen O and Adam Rapp’s “psycho-opera” at St. Ann’s Warehouse in DUMBO. No other details have been released about the performance at this time. The Creators Project New York festival will take place over four days from October 13 to the 16th. This performance will kick off St. Ann’s fall season which will lead them into their final year at the theater as they plan to move from their current location.

Martí Guixé is a Barcelona and Berlin based designer formally trained as an interior designer but works in multiple disciplines, including food. Since 1997 his conceptual edible design pieces have garnered much attention, most notably his I-cakes. A cake designed as a pie chart indicating its ingredients in percentages.

Part performance, part dining, Guixé will be at Performa Hub tomorrow evening to present Mealing. The event is a three hour performance in which guests will be “given ceramic glasses with ‘edible microsnacks’ adhered to their surface and instructions for eating them.” There’s also a bit of interaction amongst individuals as part of the process. Learn more about the event on Performa’s site. Tickets are on sale now. (via @designunseen)

Her previous work also includes the site specific performance at the Fisher Center, where performers danced on the exterior of the theater.
