Another Night of BS with Aaron T Stephan is a performative event combining the efforts of several local artists. The performance begins with the audience seated in the center of a large room facing a stage. The artist begins a standard artist talk. As the talk proceeds, a group of carpenters begins to deconstruct the stage. These materials are used to build an ad-hoc kitchen to the right of the artist and a workbench to the left. Their work is choreographed, efficient, and loud. Once the kitchen is built, two cooks enter and begin making fresh pasta. As they progress, pasta is hung on racks creating a unique and growing visual presence on stage. The carpenters continue their work, building a set of tables for the audience – gradually transforming the space into a large dining room. During the final portion of the performance, the audience, artist, carpenters, and cooks join for a dinner that has been made through the duration of the performance.
