Porky Skateboards

The New Museum has a new exhibit by José Antonio Hernández-Diez. There are fourteen installations shown, but Times food writer Amanda Hesser is intrigued by one in particular: "The Brotherhood" which has skateboards made out of pork rinds. Hernández-Diez explainsher that pork rinds are street food, the streets are the playground of skateboards. Also, Hernández-Diez and a chicharrón maker actually fried skateboard shaped rinds. Skateboard shaped rinds. That's some big pig.

Hernández-Diez will be speaking this Friday at 6:30PM at the New Museum.

I love it! ... until I read the part that say, "The boards took two weeks to drain, and they continue to drip fat, 10 years after they were made." Now I'm kind of disgusted.

I used to eat chicharrón regularly when I was a kid back in the tropics... then I stopped when I found out what it was.

As a fan of all forms of art,when I saw this I wanted to poke my eyes out! If he intended to illicit a reaction,well he got one from me

I would like to see a beef jerky jump rope.

I would like to see a veal frisbee

Good Lord, that's a load of shit. Assertion: if I wouldn't put it in my living room, then it's not really art.
