A Gathering of Goats: Claire Rosen at InLiquid

InLiquid presents A Gathering of Goats on Tuesday, June 10 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., transforming the Icebox Project Space at the Crane Arts Building into a single-evening live installation drawn from photographer Claire Rosen’s ongoing Fantastical Feasts series.

For more than a decade, Rosen has staged live animals in elaborate banquet compositions referencing Da Vinci and the Dutch vanitas tradition, with shoots ranging from cheetahs in the Amazon to goats in Sarajevo. A Gathering of Goats translates that practice into live form, with the Philly Goat Project’s trained herd serving as collaborators across a sequence of interactive vignettes including The Goat Feast — a pastoral tableau featuring the herd at an opulent banquet — and The Goat Art Studio, where the goats produce original works on canvas and paper that may later be available for purchase as part of the fundraiser.

Guests sip Caprini-tinis and savor goat-inspired canapés conceived by culinary consultant Lynn Buono, founder of South Kensington’s Feast Your Eyes Catering. A whimsical photo opportunity invites attendees to pose with one of the herd.

The event benefits both the Philly Goat Project — which has engaged more than one million people in goat-assisted activities at The Farm at Awbury and across greater Philadelphia since its 2018 founding — and InLiquid, the producing organization.

Tickets available through InLiquid.
