Elaine Tin Nyo

Conceptual artist Elaine Tin Nyo comes to the studio to talk with Will about her work and to explain the details of an event alluded to in a previous interview with Mike Ballou. In collaboration with Mike's giant animal heads, Elaine created a three course Beast Feast, hosted by herself, Mr. Bear and a dog named Whisky. She talks ahere bout her wheels-within-wheels culinary conceptions, how to fund an art dinner for 16 people and how every hostess needs an 8-foot Lazy Susan. Her next big project is First Dinner, another food and art extravaganza involving 12 other artists (she's the thirteen, get it, get it?) at Josee Bienvenu in Chelsea (38 minutes).
