Make a Salad (alone)

• Material:
  Whatever you like.
• Task:
  Make a salad. Alone.
• Extra:
  Eat the salad. Alone.
• Note:
  The original event-score by Alison Knowles is as simple as "make a salad". Since 1962 Knowles performed the work on several occasions in different contexts and formats. She typically prepares a salad for a group of people by chopping the vegetables to the beat of live music, mixing the ingredients by tossing it in the air, then serving the salad to the audience. Make a Salad is viewed as Knowles's successful translation of domestic labor into a performative context while the score's radical brevity suggests that anyone can play the score. For Performance Homework, making a salad and eating it alone is the proposed performance.
