Cake will be, well, the icing on the cake today at the opening of DiverseWorks’s 25th Anniversary. Rachel Cook’s “We Are the Perfect Combination” is a performance piece that includes the baked good, herself, decorated plates and you. “It’s a wedding cake because I’m celebrating a wedding and an anniversary between DiverseWorks and the Houston art community,” she says. Serving cake may not seem like performance art, but Cook says the project explores human interactions. She plans to write phrases on the cake plates or napkins in hopes of sparking conversations between gallery-goers stopping by for a slice before browsing the other exhibits at today’s anniversary celebration, which include “To 25” and “El Soñador Elegante.” Curated by Patricia Hernandez and Sasha Dela, “To 25” is a photographic retrospective of two and a half decades’ worth of performances, openings, installations and other events at DiverseWorks. Artist David McGee also looks back with “El Soñador Elegante,” an exhibit of sculptures, videos and paintings that pay homage to DiverseWorks’s place in the art community by referencing past exhibits and events. Have your cake and talk about it, too, today.
