Leonardo’s Last Supper: A Vision by Peter Greenaway (art performance, Peter Greenaway, 2010)
Beginning Friday and continuing through Jan. 6 Mr. Greenaway, the provocative British filmmaker, along with an international crew of theatrical producers, video experts and art makers will present, for the first time in America, the kind of splashy multimedia art exhibition he has shown to huge, appreciative audiences — and not a few irritated art scholars — around the world for three years now. The show inaugurates the first full season of programming by the Park Avenue Armory since it began reinventing itself as an unconventional arts center three years ago.*

At Your Service (art performance, Raúl Ortega Ayala, 2009)
‘Last Supper’ is a performative work by Mexican artist Raúl Ortega Ayala based on the research of food historian Daniel Rogov. Ortega Ayala meticulously recreates the ‘original’ meal served during the Last Supper and its surrounding rituals as allegedly experienced by the Twelve Apostles and Christ.
Following this historical and academic research, which reviews the traditions of Judaism, the cooking utensils and the ingredients available at the time, Ortega Ayala’s performance turns the gallery into an experience of uncanny time travel.*
