Rubik's Cube Exhibition
Greetings Cooking Exhibition Chefs:
We are deeply appreciative of your individual and collective participation, creative input and enthusiasm for Cooking: The Exhibition during its formative stages of development. As many of you are aware, securing funding to complete work on this exhibition has been challenging. Liberty Science Center has consequently suspended work on the development of the Cooking exhibition, including both permanent and traveling versions.
Please be advised that the exhibition chefs website (http://cookingexhibitchefs.ning.com/) will officially close on June 30, 2012, and the website and project files will be archived.
Liberty Science Center is pleased to announce that we will be turning our attention to developing and producing a 7,000 sq. ft. major exhibition based on Rubik’s Cube, the world’s best-selling puzzle. The official announcement was made on April 27, 2012, at LSC's annual gala, at which the Cube inventor himself, Ernö Rubik, was a distinguished honoree.
The Rubik’s Cube Exhibition will open at Liberty Science Center in April 2014 - the 40th anniversary of the Cube’s invention. It will remain at the Center for six months before traveling around the world to science centers, art and history museums and alternative exhibit spaces for up to seven years.
The exhibition will include a working, diamond-encrusted Rubik’s Cube worth $2.5 million dollars; elaborate Cube artwork; Cube-solving robots; virtual reality simulations of Cubes that aren’t really there; a glowing 35-foot tall Rubik’s Cube that can be manipulated by anyone with an Internet connection and a tiny nanoscale Cube. Google is the creative partner of the Rubik’s Cube Exhibition.
More information about the Rubik’s Cube Exhibition and upcoming tour will soon be posted on Liberty Science Center’s website http://lsc.org/.
Cheers!
The Rubik’s Cube Exhibition is generously supported by the government of Hungary, Diamond Cutters International, Josh Weston, Ernő Rubik, Seven Towns, Jennifer Chalsty, the Overdeck Family Foundation, Prudential, and Ernst & Young LLP.

Can Twee Scale-Up? Artisanal Food in Brooklyn NY
Posted by Liza Reich Rawson on April 16, 2012 at 6:57pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Great article in this week's New York Magazine (April 15, 2012) by Benjamin Wallace on the artisanal food movement in Brooklyn and whether or not it can scale-up for the mass market--and if it should.
He posits, "Is artisanal Brooklyn a step forward for food or a sign of the apocalypse? And does it matter when the stuff tastes so good?" Click here to read the article.
And by the way as a Brooklynite I'm a total sucker for all the artisanal food pumped out here and proud of it!
Tailgating Traditions
Posted by Liza Reich Rawson on February 2, 2012 at 11:05am 0 Comments 0 Likes
The Super Bowl game this weekend (go Giants!) got me wondering about when tailgating started. Not surprisingly there's some dispute over when and where.

Origin of Tailgating
Various universities lay claim to starting the tailgating trend. What isn’t disputed, however, is the role of college football in the growth and development of this classic fall ritual.
• Rutgers vs. Princeton (1869) – According to this theory, tailgating dates back to the very first football game ever played between Rutgers and Princeton in 1869 when fans traveled to the game by horse-drawn carriage, grilling sausages at the “tail-end” of the horse.…
Caramelizing onions made simpler? Any thoughts on the science behind this method?
Posted by Tonian Irving on January 6, 2012 at 1:05pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
My usual method for caramelizing an onion to to put oil or butter in a hot pan, add the onion and a little salt, and cook away, stirring frequently until the onion is uniformly soft and browned. This usually takes about 20 minutes for one onion.
Using Clark's method, you put the onion in a dry pan without salt and cook it over medium-high heat…
Cooking: the exhibition chefs
This network is designed to bring the exhibitions team with anyone interested in discussing, collaborating or otherwise participating in the development and design of an exhibition on the subject of cooking.
Our goal here is to create a vibrant group of people who can share ideas, offer new directions, test concepts and get reviews as we move forward. We also hope to bring a little laughter and "flavor" to our upcoming work. This is an attempt to open source, as much as we can, the exhibition design and development process.
Cooking the exhibition is a project of Experience Services for more see fine print at bottom of page

By and by we assume that if you share ideas on the network we are free to distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as we credit you for the original creation. We are thinking this might make the biggest credit panel ever!. On the other hand we are willing to share and have other museums, science centers and nonprofits use our ideas but you must ask for our permission.
PLEASE REMEMBER THIS SITE IS FOR ALL TO PARTICIPATE IN "COOKIN' " UP THIS EXHIBITION. JOIN IN THE DISCUSSIONS AND MEETINGS!
