400 Crisp Butties – a new performance art event by Pete McKee
On Saturday 14th June Pete McKee will take to the stage at Weston Park Museum in Sheffield as part of his major year-long exhibition The Boy with the Leg Named Brian. He will be debuting his first performance art event; 400 Crisp Butties. This is a celebration of a humble Northern dish, well-deserving of icon status, performed by an equally Northern artist. Visitors are invited to attend the museum from 12pm to witness Pete make 400 crisp butties live and sample his creations.
“This event is my playful take on the world of performance art that can sometimes leave unfamiliar audiences feeling baffled and undernourished. For this one-off event, 400 visitors will be given one of my handmade butties to eat. I hope you will join me in celebrating one of my favourite dishes as a child and share in the positive experience of communal eating.” – Pete McKee
Pete will start making crisp butties from 12pm with the aim of creating 400 over the afternoon. You do not need to book to attend this event and visitors will be given a free crisp butty from the artist on a first come, first served basis.
