Meydan

Also at the Polygon is Derya Akay's Meydan. Named after the Turkish word for town centre, Akay imagines the south end of the gallery's ground floor as a place where food, in its raw form, is both distributed and prepared.

Akay points to a video monitor by my feet, where a woman is preparing dolmades. "I'm making those tomorrow."

I mention I'll be trimming the ends of my grapevines this week, and he says, "Bring them here." So I did, yesterday (see above), after which, like in one of those time edited cooking shows, he treats me to the finished product (see below).
