“Chewing Tzu—The Rumination Book” (1993) by Angela Lorenz is an edible performance piece consisting of ancient Taoist philosophy by Chuang Tzu, Lao Tzu, and others printed on four kinds of gum. At this event, the public is invited to read the text aloud and ruminate over the conceptual pairings of phrase and flavor.

Angela Lorenz is one of the artists in the “Bookworks” exhibition at the Aidekman Arts Center through December 15.
