2013 Joyce Award recipient Seitu Jones is a St. Paul, Minnesota-based artist and educator with a long track record of ambitious projects. But he’s never tried anything as visionary as what he and his team are planning for September 14, 2014: orchestrating a meal for 2000 people at a 3/4–mile long table stretching down Victoria Avenue in St. Paul.

Commissioned by the Joyce Foundation, this video lays out Seitu’s vision for the project, which he describes as “an intervention” in the food system. If you’re interested in learning more, go to publicartstpaul.org for details.
