Sour Cherry Pie

Sour Cherry Pie is an annual art project that is part endurance performance, part journal. For nearly a decade, conceptual artist Elaine Tin Nyo have made one pie a day and shared them with her friends and acquaintances. She sends an email report to the “pie list” each time one is consumed.

The performance lasts as long as the cherry season, about three weeks. It happens in the most intimate of spaces: the artist’s kitchen, a mouth, a picnic basket, a table, a park bench, her private email list and her (by her own definition) under-trafficked blog.
