Daniel George Potluck featuring recipes from the exhibition Marrow

Is Daniel George’s exhibition Marrow making you hungry? Join us for a potluck in the museum Friday, September 24, from 7–9pm, following Genesis Jerez’s artist talk!

Bring your favorite Utah dish, using a family recipe or recipes from Daniel George’s exhibition, to share with museum visitors while discussing Utah culinary culture with artist Daniel George, whose exhibition Marrow examines the culinary and cultural heritage of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These stereotypical recipes capture the values, cultures, and traditions of a particular people, living in a specific region in the Western United States, sometimes dubbed the “Mormon Corridor” or (in The Atlantic) the “Jell-O Belt.” In Marrow, George recreates and photographs dishes from Ward (the name of a congregation) Cookbooks showing food functioning as folk art.
