I look at Alison Knowles’ (the creator of Make a Salad) other work and don’t find myself thinking, “I can’t believe this crazy old lady has found a way to make a living tossing giant salads in museums and covering young women in garbage for the sake of art,” but rather, “Whoa, good for this crazy old lady for finding out how to make a living by tossing giant salads in museums and covering young women in garbage for the sake of art!”
I’d be shouting indignantly from the crowd, “COME ON LADY, GOT ANY RANCH?”
I’m actually crying right now.

So I’m obviously obsessed with this “Make a Salad” performance art piece that’s happening in New York tomorrow. The artist has been performing this piece of art since 1962, and I’m crying now because after people who see the performance art eat the salad, they talk about it like this.
“It’s a good, good balance of salad to dressing, I’ll say. Good ratio.”
“Tastes like a beautiful, artistic salad.”
