Duley’s exhibitions always have food and a shared table playing a central role. Over the course of his New York exhibition there will be a series of curated dinners in the style of the French salons of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Gatherings hosted to spark thoughtful conversation about culture, science, art, literature, and politics – a reimagining of salons from the era was called the “age of conversation.”

The dinners, shared on a long table, will be an opportunity to reflect and discuss the exhibition. Duley wants to create a place of calm, during a time of global turmoil. A space where we can discuss ideas and find ways to effect real world impact.

Hosted in the upper floors on Sutton Tower, the guests will sit on a shared table, surrounded by stunning panoramic view of New York. The evenings will include a personal tour of the exhibition, a three-course meal with accompanying drinks and wine.

Duley will tell stories, start discussions and Dr Sofia Yatsyuk, a Ukrainian-British concert violinist, will be musician in residence for the dinners.

You can book tickets directly for $500 via this page or as a donation of $1000 to Legacy of War Foundation.

The menu is designed by Duley (aka The One-Armed Chef) based on his travels. In his words “food is the greatest storyteller”, and for these nights the food stories come from Ukraine, Persia and Rwanda.
