Event Link

The Martian and interdisciplinary artist Emory Hall come together for this experimental experiential feast of the mind and body.

Hall has designed a menu that opens up (literally and figuratively) throughout the night. While the Martin co-founders Whitney LaMora and Lora Miller are designing the immersive experiences of the night, starting with an isolated lobby experience that brings guests into the evening and ending in a room where they’re kept seperate, brought together, and separated again through hints, clues, and general guidance by the players in the room.

Official Description Follows

Interdisciplinary artist Emory Hall joins The Martin founders Whitney LaMora and Lora Miller to create an immersive dinner, drink, and art experience under the title OPEN SPACES.

Drawing from influences over the past year, these dishes and the conceptual setting form an experience centered on the fear of togetherness. Of keeping little spaces open for aliens to reach you. Of letting go of things that no longer serve you and not having the new things filled in yet. Of not knowing.

Beginning with the tightly packed and closed off sardine, moving through the protected oyster and then opening up with the more communal dishes — injera and shared noodles, the dishes progress from individual size and scope to larger and more expansive as a journey to belong, become apart of.

Your individual experience begins at the door to The Martin and lasts throughout the evening. This isn’t just a dinner — it’s an evening of finding yourself alone and then amongst others in one room with a shared meal.

Mobility Advisory: “We anticipate individuals will be in line outside of the venue but we can provide a bench outside for anyone who needs to sit while they wait to enter, and otherwise once they enter they will be brought to their table. There is light movement from area to area anticipated throughout the dinner but it will be mostly seated, and we can pivot anything to anyone’s needs.”
